> Established shops mean established culture. I work at a relatively large technology company (Bloomberg) and I have had great success in changing developer culture for the better. It takes a lot of elbow grease, many meetings and you need the gumption to ride through it but we've truly made the day-to-day productivity enhancements that we need for our business. In just this year my team has accomplished: > GitHub Enterprise deployment; > Massive project conversions from Ruby 1.8.7 to 1.9.3; > Adoption and training of AngularJS building reusable directives; > Utilizing Boxen to make developer work environments reproducible and deterministic; > Consolidating build systems (Jenkins) and integration with corporate internal systems; We're really on a roll and I think once you gain the trust of management and they see the moral changing for the better you can really stop the world. But coming in from the outside I can see how this is intimidating and, roughly speaking, you need to consider most organizations are not going to give you the keys to the castle with merely blind faith. You need to disrupt a bit.
