DX is the experience of the people who build the product. If the users happen to be developers, it’s still UX.

I get why there is a debate: DX and UX can come into conflict if technology choices don’t serve user needs.

You can optimise your users’ experience by first understanding their needs and then exploring how technology can meet them.

Most of the time, there is no conflict but sometimes tech choices eg buying off-the-shelf software or using a package that isn’t accessible can fail to meet user needs.
