Ask HN: Has AI programming changed internal tool building?
Understand this story
Someone on Hacker News asked: Do AI programming tools let teams that need a feature build and maintain internal tools themselves, faster than waiting in line for shared tools? The asker says that in the past such tools were usually developed by dedicated teams and shared across dozens of teams, but now the requesting teams may be able to build and maintain them faster themselves, or even tear them down and start over. The asker is interested in the actual results after tools have been in long-term use, and whether internal tool building should shift from centralization to each team deciding for itself. The question is still collecting discussion and has no conclusion yet.
