Developer experience. In other words, improving the tools your developers rely upon to do their job. It's like UX, but for the development process.

- walshemj 8y agoIBM called this role the toolsmith in a chief programmer team, a 1970's development paradime. I have worked in an early web dev team that sort of worked like that at BT I was the backup/toolsmith.
- hinkley 8y agoIve been called a toolsmith before, but I fear that label misses the mark. I do what I consider to be the barest minimum of user studies (approximately what I don’t think my boss will notice) and I don’t observe others putting half as much effort or empathy into it as I do. I don’t know if I’m crazy or living in the future, but it’s definitely frustrating and a little alienating.
