"What's in it for me? Right now? In the short term?" is not very civic posture. The 'bigger the corp' the 'bigger the productivity gains' available to the team and customers. A 1% gain would probably be worthwhile though it's probably the purview of a director or CTO, that said, developers are part of the process. Making little productivity gains here and there is literally how the world moves forward. It's why we are wiping our rears with toilet paper and not seashells. One of the commenters made the point that 'such tools are not always very useful' which is entirely reasonable, but to the extent they are, the math works. In an adjacent area - we use Jira, which we all loathe, but it's considerably better than nothing for example, it does the job and it's worth 20x the meagre cost to us. Such is an example of productivity leverage. (And of course, it's not always the case that it works out so well) |
