> There's no mandated organizational standard for what exact tools to some, various teams have different levels of adoption and stacks

> No org-wide/team-wide conventions for Claude Code

Just for context, this pattern (different teams using different tools in different ways) is extremely normal within Amazon, and is intentional. These shouldn't necessarily be seen as a failure. Amazon likes to have multiple competing options they use for everything, and they constantly evaluate which option is best performing, like an A/B test. After a couple years they will pare away whatever performs worst, replacing it with a new option. This strategy definitely has it's disadvantages, but it is an intentional chosen pattern throughout the company.

You've missed out on migrating to Zoom, Asana, and Sharepoint now.
How does anyone intentionally decide to migrate to Teams?!

I've only ever seen it in Microsoft shops that used it from the beginning.

Some dipshit with too much power and not enough brain cells nor incentive to care about making good choices. That's also an intentionally chosen pattern throughout the company. :)
Chime was awesome! Also you could shove in Snapchat filters. pointy ears.
