Swear to God, SIM makes my life so much worse. It's a horrible tool. Code review tool at Amazon also lacks useful features when compared to other non-Amazon tools. Is it literally just for cost savings? Why do we have to use these things? TC 270k
I recall some orgs shifted to gitlab when I was at AWS. But ya.... Big tech loves their internal tech.....
Itās so they have control over it if something NEEDS to change and they canāt rely or wait on a third party to implement exactly what is needed. Hiring in house software people that make software work internally gives you so much control over what it can do. Bloomberg does the same, even to the point we use our own fork of the STLā¦
LOL we use external product called AWS as our internal tool and it's still shittier than the internal tools of other companies
Sarcasm detected
Internal tools provide good alternatives to teams who are not assigned big budgets
Our internal tools are good
Internal tools usually end up costing more than open source alternatives. Blaze / Kubernetes / gRPC seems to have worked pretty good for Google tho.
Everyone hates SIM. So they are creating an even shittier tool called Taskei
Meta tools are fine for the most part. Some people have strong opinions about us having a homebrew slack, and some other internal tools have reliability/perf/bug issues, but overall I'd say they're like B+ quality
Yes
