Are there companies which would allow or suggest employees or contractors just use whatever random toolchain they have installed? I can understand the argument

Are there companies which would allow or suggest employees or contractors just use whatever random toolchain they have installed?
I can understand the argument for open-source projects that aren't attached to a company, but otherwise? Maybe this is my bias being in a subindustry centered on distributed binaries and so have set standard toolchains (i.e. what the build machines use), but I'm still not seeing it. This seems like the more harmful practice than using -Werror
- saagarjha 3y agoMost companies I have worked at have a specific compile script that everyone uses and they don't mind if you use something else as long as you aren't causing problems for everyone else. I typically run pre-release toolchains to spot errors early for example, or sometimes I'll swap out the compiler to test things. Obviously, what gets built and deployed to production is not built off my computer; it goes through the standard CI they have.
