Developers often struggle to compare tooling ergonomics and production parity. The DevEx Compass visualizes this with a public checklist, scoring each tool on criteria like one‑command start, fast feedback, and real‑world container support. It places tools on a 2‑D map so you can see trade‑offs at a glance. Any thoughts on the layout or scoring?
