First time I've seen "DX". Developer experience, I assume from context?

That's an awesome term and I'm going to steal it.

Code that doesn’t work for the developers eventually won’t work for anyone else, either.
I just used "dev experience" yesterday when I was going to use "DX" at first, just in case someone didn't know the term. I thought I was being silly and that by now everyone would know the term, but apparently I did the right thing to be a bit over paranoid here! Thanks for confirming:

Yes, developer experience. I thought it was a common term, maybe not so much.

And I agree, it's a great term :)

If this is the first time you've seen DX I've got two words for ya
I've heard "developer experience" a million times. My last company had a few teams devoted to it, and the existential need is palpable.

I've just never seen it in abbreviated form, and that's kind of shocking to me because it's so obvious.
