How developer experience holds content teams back (and how to fix it)

Is great developer experience (DX) at odds with the user experience on the web? Some claim so. There is a lot of attention given to how tools with great DX leads to more JavaScript in people’s browsers and how it negatively impacts website performance. But great performance doesn’t matter if the content isn’t right. Yet, developers sacrifice editorial experience in the name of short-lived convenience. We force content teams to write in Markdown and commit to git. Or we limit ourselves to page-focused content management systems not really designed for modern tools and requirements.
