Community of folks who build developer tools

Why?

(1) Because developer tools are a special kind of software

Good developer tools help software developers build better software faster. Incremental quality and productivity improvements in software development have ripple effects on all aspects of the global economy (“Software is eating the world” and all that..)

(2) Because DevTools builders are a special breed

They care as much about the “art of software development” as the software itself. That is why they build tools to improve their own lives and those of fellow developers. They are finally getting both acclaim and commercial success.

There isn’t a great place for DevTools builders to come together and engage on the topic of building DevTools.
