I’d recommend anybody thinking about building a devtool to read Neil Davidson’s “Don’t roll the dice”. It’s a pretty old book, but Neil has also made it available for free now and the general lessons still hold true today. Some IC developers will pay for tools, it’s very hard to have that happen at a price point that supports the scale required. So feature discriminate on the things their boss needs, and charge for that. And then the next set of features for their bosses’ boss, and so on until you’re selling into the C-suite.
