A poor #userexperience can make or break a product. Most companies are not Microsoft and likely wouldn’t have withstood a fiasco like Vista. An opposite example is Docker, the engine that popularized containers, lightweight packages of code and all its dependencies that can run on any operating system with Docker installed. (...)In short, attention to the user or developer experience (#DevEx) is no longer a nice to have. Instead, it’s a critical aspect of any product including internal platforms

Developers *thought* they were 20% more productive using AI, but were actually measured to be 20% *slower*. 
Building a set of GitOps/devex guidance videos for a client. Figured some folks might be interested in seeing what automating project initiation looks like and how the standardised integrated repositories operate.
A following video will show how to use the portal to configure your active workloads and how the automation shifts all the way left to automating your desktop engineering processes.
This is a next level productivity boost during transformations, reducing organizations requirement for expensive platform engineers.

This sentence made me chuckle on a Monday morning : "We are all going to die. If you’re lucky you get three gigaseconds and you’re up. Do what you are called to do. Put ZFS in your air fryer, do your taxes in Fortran."

This website https://viewdns.info/, just like https://expeditedsecurity.com/aws-in-plain-english/ is a good example of nice #devex.
Yes, being technical I should know what "Reverse MX Lookup" means. But it also takes 30 characters and little effort for you to make it so much clearer to me.

Last week was my first time doing a Keynote, and also my first time speaking in almost two years! And it was a special day, since I brought one of my daughters for the first time 
. What a cool day. We talked about #developerexperience, obviously!

I'm drafting a diagram to explain how before/after hooks work in unit tests.
They tend to work the same way across test frameworks, so it's not unique to QUnit. But, new devs will learn this for the first time, so I think it's worth explaining.

"Our framework distills DevEx to its 3 core dimensions: feedback loops, cognitive load, and flow state. Taken together, feedback loops, cognitive load, and flow state encapsulate the full range of friction types encountered by #developers. Although #DevEx is complex and nuanced, teams and organizations can take steps toward improvement by focusing on these three key areas."

#DevEx is everywhere, and for good reason. With software shaping industries worldwide, improving the developer experience is crucial.
In this piece, I dive into DevEx's roots in academia, to a survey on today’s dedicated tools and research teams, to what the future holds.
