Developer Experience (DX) in one word?
Developer Experience (DX) is the experience of using a developer tool or extending your product (meant for developers), API, open-source code, or just about anything that has to do with developers. It's the equivalent of User Experience when the primary user of the product is a developer.

My Open-source COVID19 Tracking CLI Tool
While trying to keep up with COVID19 I built a CLI to avoid all the UIs and bad information out there. Picked a couple of authentic sources (listed at the end) and built a command-line tracker. Open-sourced it and everyone liked it, got trending on #1 in the JavaScript category for days.
