The problem with a homegrown system is that every developer working within it will see it as a barrier rather than a cost saving. Whenever they can't do something that's trivial on Github/Gitlab it'll be a reminder that the company would rather save $xxx/year than make their job easier.
Ultimately, having a simple, well-integrated, industry standard stack that includes the same tooling every other company uses is a perk of working at a well-funded or profitable company. People leave for less.

Shortly after the ritual is complete you hear a cacophony of "fucking teams wouldn't find my headset/camera", and the day begins.
- midoridensha 4y agoYour team should have a strict policy to not do ANY work at all each day until the stand-up is complete, and not to do the stand-up until Teams is working correctly for every team member, no matter how long this takes.
