In this week's episode, Adam, Carol and Tim discuss Developer Experience (DX) and its importance in creating a comfortable and efficient workflow for developers. The hosts highlight various elements that impact DX, such as the ergonomics of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), debuggers, and browser tools.

They emphasize the need for faster build and deployment times to minimize context switching and improve productivity. Strategies for managing development, QA, and production environments, including the use of GitHub Actions, source-controlled database schemas, and automated deployments, are also explored.
