ObuchiYukiHere's the thing about software development: no matter how much time and thought and planning you put into it, you are *not* going to get it right first time. So get it wrong fast.

Developer experience is so much more than using the product itself.

Debugging is part of dev exp.
Documentation is part of dev exp.
Your error messages SHOULD NOT be coming back looking like cryptic metaphors.
I should be able to find what I need in your docs in minutes.
David Zipper That's the one beta test I don't want to participate in:
Everyone who walks or bikes should understand that Tesla is risking your life with its "Full-Self Driving" feature.
Like it or not, we're all part of beta tests being conducted on our public streets -- while @NHTSAgov sits on its hands.

“Digital hygiene” (the idea that you get yourself “dirty” online and it’s your job to keep “clean”) was created to convince us that corporations aren’t responsible for making their digital products safe. https://t.co/c6ZVr26Hs2

My favorite hiring practice from early Stripe: the recruiter would ask the *receptionist* for candidate feedback.
