Ask HN: Best resources for designing developer tools?

#1

Post by SJMosley »

What are the best resources you have come across that helped you learn about "designing" for developers as your primary customer?

Documentation, SDK development, clean API design, reducing friction in the set up, etc.

What is something you always look for from these tools or that makes you choose one over another?
