Tools you’d miss if you left a company
Doesn't it take months to train new developers in these mystical internal tools? I remember hearing specifically that Google expects 5+ months of training until a developer is productive. How many companies can afford to spend ~50k+/hire on on-boarding ((100k/yr * 5 months) + benefits)? What is the opportunity cost of holding so many people in training mode for this time period?<p>Different companies have different problems. Big companies need big expensive tools to help with their problems. Little companies usually get by with smaller more portable tools. Let's not use this to demean people at small companies with some false sense of superiority please...
