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
