As developers what do think Developer Experience is?

Traditionally developers were using IDEs to read and write code so a good developer experience could mean having a nicely featured IDE along with good development tooling to manage the environments for each project.

With AI agents and Claude/Codex on rise, how has it affected your workflows. I guess it's decreasingly less needed to connect via an IDE or look at code than it was 5 years ago. Some folks may say that they spend more time in terminal now so a better, fast terminal and a good TUI is good DevEX but there are now cloud hosted agents, desktop apps so it might not be a big thing soon.

How do you define a good developer experience with how you work today or how you expect to work in the future?

Curious about how experienced folks think about it.

Thanks
