On developer tooling
· toolingdx
The tools we choose aren’t just instruments — they’re constraints that shape our thinking. A fast feedback loop changes how you write code. A good type system changes how you design APIs.
The compound effect
Small improvements in tooling compound over time. A 200ms faster build doesn’t sound like much until you realize you run it hundreds of times a day.
The best developer tools share a common trait: they remove friction without adding complexity.
