Wasting money is nothing too unusual in the Fiance sector. But every Manager fears risk, especially if he is made aware of it with a paper trail :D
Aug 25, 2020 at 14:37 comment added vikingsteve Oh, dont worry. I measured the performance increase (or decrease, due to not having powerful IDE tools) and presented it in "man hours lost per week". My 25% increase was very specific and I backed it up with a spreadsheet of data. "Action A - time manual vs time in IntelliJ, times number of occurrences per week" etc etc. If you can show dollar signs to management they will often suddenly listen
Aug 25, 2020 at 14:34 comment added Daniel @vikingsteve I would be wary of making specific performance promises because performance in software-development is already hard to measure and even harder to understand for "business"
Aug 25, 2020 at 14:32 comment added vikingsteve Wasting money - you can flip it the other way and say you will be (for example) 25% more efficient with IntelliJ, butbucket, jira, etc. Have been in this situation before and when i argued on increased efficiency - boom, we got some IntelliJ licenses.
