Thought experiment @auchenberg Why do I need to learn a new DevTools for each browser? Why do I have to use diﬀerent tools for authoring and debugging? Why isn't my editor integrated with my browsers? Why can't I decide which DevTools to use with my browsers? Why can't I use DevTools to debug my mobile apps? Why can't I leverage the browser logic in my new fancy tool? Why are DevTools bundled with our browsers? · · · · · · · 7/60
