Unless you know it would help you (as a manager), I would advise you let the programmer pick his own tools. You can still check with other programmers if his choices make sense, but be careful if acting on this information. Just make sure he uses some sort of CVS (Git is most common nowadays), other than that... any competent programmer should know about these things, and it is more likely that he finds out about them from their peers.

Which is mainly just him in tech terms, but i want everything documented to mitigate bus factor. So we talk generally about tools. Also if it’s a paid thing, that’s he’s using for working on my stuff, then I would pay for it.
