Built With Love - Why Developer Experience Matters
summary
Claims that better developer experience saves money, mental energy and morale and offers concrete fixes: replace Pair Up with a CLI-first tool (Mob Up) that emits the GitHub co-authored-by trailer (supports up to 14 authors), ship a one-line installer via Docker-wrapped binaries, add PR templates and changelogs, surface friendly diagnostics using Levenshtein distance for config typos, and provide clear migration and archival steps. Examples include using Python Click or Go Cobra for CLIs; Mob Up exists as an idea not a finished product.
