Standardization is valuable. An extreme example of your position would be a shop where everyone uses a different language. That's obviously untenable. A more reasonable example might be choice of editor. I'm of the opinion that management should provide everyone a standard editor, then not mandate it's use. This means anyone can hop onto any device and know how to use it, even if the device owner has a super-customized vim setup. Folks who become familiar with the standard editor are also better positioned to help their colleagues troubleshoot their setups. I don't see how this applies to AI assistants much if at all. It feels like mandating devs run all their ideas by a particular intern. If said intern isn't an architect then there's no value in having a single point of contact.
