Ask HN: How much can you influence what products your team has to use?
Hi everyone, I was wondering to what degree you can influence the product choices management makes.<p>I’ve heard both extremes from friends:<p>Some really shitty situations where the dev teams are forced to work with whatever product gets sold to management without getting engineers involved in the process at all.<p>Others, where dev teams can choose completely freely what products and services best fit their workflow but then have some integration issues between departments because everyone uses different tools.
