In React, a good DX is everything
May 3rd, 2023
In React, a good DX (Developer Experience) is everything. It's the best investment your engineering team can make.
Here's my DX checklist:
1. Easy to read the code
How quickly the developer can figure out the "How" and the "Why" behind implementation details.
2. Easy to test the software behavior
How easy we can write automated tests for the React app (unit, integration, e2e).
Plus, how fast the developer can understand the "What" (business requirements) when reading tests.
3. Easy to change
Amount of layers we shall touch to implement a new business requirement or update an existing one (e.g., can we just plug-in a new functionality or not).
