Well, this actually seems to be pretty common at smaller companies (that they don't prioritize portability and out-of-the-box usability for internal tools and services), and this wasn't even nominally a software company. I did a lot of work there to try and improve these problems, mostly having nothing to do with Rust, but it was a thankless job. My observation working at (much) larger, software-oriented companies is that things are better mostly because they have a lot of people working on tools like build systems and commit-blocking linters. Individual engineers on large teams, when incentivized toward pure velocity, still seem to ignore code quality and stewardship to the greatest degree they can get away with. edit: These are meant as generalizations. Obviously some of us care, despite the industry's best attempts to beat it out of us.
