> "DX tarpits"

Google shows no results for this term so i'm guessing its your own short hand for something hard?

Potentially a play on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_tarpit

(DX is developer experience, tarpit is used idiomatically to mean “slow/difficult thing”)

Ah, thank you.

DX is developer experience (analogous to UX for user experience).

Tarpit is often used as an analogy for anything that suddenly slows you down.
