What is Development Environment?
Your local setup where you write and test code before deploying
Why It Matters
A good development environment lets you code, test, and experiment safely without affecting users
Real-World Example
Running your app on localhost:3000 on your laptop to test changes
“Understanding terms like Development Environment matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
