Designing for developers
summary
Defines good developer experience as an effective, joyful way to get work done and shows concrete patterns: a Fibonacci program mapped from human code to machine instructions, API design using Stripe that renders payment methods for iDEAL PayNow boleto eps so integrations don’t need country-specific wiring, Tailwind utility classes to keep styles small with ~100M+ npm downloads, semantic versioning to signal breaking changes, and vim tutor that gets users productive in ~30 minutes.
