This is the core of the issue: we don't get time allocated for innovation/creativity and other internal improvements. At town halls we get told we need to be innovative but then.. no time is allocated for it. I suspect a handful of other devs also has their own tooling as mine to make their lives easier, but keeping it for themselves, as telling/showing other can often invite unintended consequences.
