I came across this interaction around the use of the term "DX" in this pull request within the Forem repo.
I thought it would be useful to share this for anybody else who might come across this term and be confused. Acronyms can be passed around with few explanations.
Happy coding ❤️

Did not know that 😉 Coming from UX, I guess 😉
DX is quite literally, my job.
😂
Quite a muddled term though, but glad to see it being used, it's a useful term for referring to thinking about developers in the context of your code, tools etc. All empathy is good empathy!
Well, I think I should write a bit more about this topic in the future. At least I wrote my master thesis on Developer Experience (DX) and Web APIs. I could possibly say a bit more about that...
Everything is an experience CX, BX, UX, DX, EX ..
