Developer Experience
The DevX team is starting to build steam! Ciaran spent the week reviewing existing tickets for what bugs and features to tackle next, with a focus on pkd validate as the next likely candidate. David Armstrong spent some time in researching our packaging process to plan improvements in reducing the size of the PDK package. This week James delivered a presentation on VS Code :fire: tips and tricks at the April Puppet Camp. Recordings will be available soon. A lot of people responded to the PDK Survey, so we will be closing that this week and will report the results next week
Terminology Changes
I am happy to announce the end of our terminology work, as of yesterday all master branches have been removed from our supported modules and tools, and with the previous work done to remove any mentions I am happy to declare this piece of work closed.
A big shout out to David Swan (i.e. Me!) for heading up this work.
