JSConf | DX is UX by Mathieu Anderson @jsconf_ | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 22 hours ago
As users of applications, we are very critical when it comes to our experience. Quick to dismiss and abandon products at the slightest irritation: a delayed response, an unexpected behavior, an unresponsive button, a distasteful design.
But as developers, we often resign ourselves to the ordinary pains and discomfort of our daily codebase. Long build time, flaky tests, mysterious black boxes of legacy code, endless debates about inconsequential choices, unhelpful review process Those are all bad experiences. Those are all preventable, fixable. Developers are the users of their codebase.
Why should we not strive to make this user experience as delightful as possible, for everyone involved?

About Mathieu:
I am a career switcher. Four years ago, I was a film archivist and digital project manager, but I wanted to *make* things, not *manage* things. Since then I worked at two start-ups in Brussels and Berlin, and strived to improve not only the product but the process of making it.

There were once browsers without element inspector, CSS without border-radius, JavaScript without arrow functions. Although a world without Flexbox and Template Literals sounds scary ... I invite you to reflect on what is really the darkest time for Front-end developers. Lets ask ourselves if the times were dark when we were worried about border-radius or if we should really be worried about the current times, where a simple landing needs 800kb of JavaScript to display.")

Imagine one hot and humid day in summer. Would you expect your air-con at home has already been cooling down the air so that you feel refreshed on arrival? It would be perfect if I can turn on the air-con just 10 minutes before home! Are you to die for it? What if I can connect my air-con with Raspberry PI that runs a serverless application, which is triggered by a public cloud application? It sounds so sweet! But... life is not that easy. Id like to share my hard learning experiences while setting up this home automation system, using Raspberry PI, Azure Functions, Power Automate and Power Apps.")
