In the debut episode of The Developer Tools Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack why Stripe's API documentation is considered the gold standard in developer experience. They break down the specific design choices — from idempotency keys to clear error messages — that turned a payments API into a platform developers genuinely enjoy using. Along the way, they discuss what other dev-tool companies can learn from Stripe's approach to onboarding, sandbox environments, and documentation as a product. If you build tools for engineers, this episode offers a concrete framework for thinking about developer experience beyond just 'good docs.'
