The shared tools that people actually need like git or ms word already exist (because they're things we actually need). Maybe claude code / codex / opencode is the rare exception of a new thing which will survive long term (the coding agent idea in general, maybe not these three products in particular).

This kind of internal tooling always creates a window for empire building. The few things I've done that actually mattered at the jobs I've been at have mostly been in excel, and I'm a swe to boot. People don't want another internal tool, they want signal that helps them make business decisions.

Decent tooling is nice, but really over the top tooling can indicate organizational problems like misallocation of resources
