The classic arc of internal tooling is generally:

* Person gets angry/frustrated/passionate about some third party tool they could build themselves.

* Person builds that tool. It's not perfect but does what company needs (for now)

* Person gets slaps on the back and congratulations for building such an awesome tool and saving the company loads of money

* Person leaves company

* Nobody else cares anymore and/or wants to bother with the inconvenience of keeping up with bugs and features

* After dealing with this for a period of time, someone says "Hey, why don't we just use third party tool?"

* Company re-subscribes to third party tool
