DX to another level
summary
Argues for building small custom tools that cut repeated developer work and then scaling them so the whole team benefits. Shows working examples: a local proxy for API management that lets frontend change behavior without backend deploys, a set of chrome extensions and git scripts that remove manual clicks and repeated commands, and a VS Code alias that saves seconds per task. Reports faster onboarding, fewer merge pain points, and adoption hurdles: signup friction and the need for low‑friction intuitive tools.
