Building a Developer-First Product Culture

How we built a product that developers love—and the lessons you can apply to your own company.
# Building a Developer-First Product Culture
Developers are tough customers. They expect great APIs, clear docs, and tools that just work.
## Start with the API
Your API is your product for developers. Design it like a first-class citizen.
## Documentation Matters
Great docs aren't a nice-to-have—they're essential. Invest in interactive examples and tutorials.
## Community Building
Engage with developers where they are: GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Discord.
