WHAT DRIVES ADOPTION OF INTERNAL DEVELOPER TOOLS?

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A study on the factors that affect the adoption of internal developer tools showed that developers do not want to change their usual style of work and might prefer tools that are easy to integrate with their usual style of work. Developers select or design tools that fit well with the usual work style of team members and that can be easily customized to their needs. The findings imply that developers are more likely to adopt tools that are used by their peers or by their community. The paper suggests utilizing developer-led blog posts or demonstrations of build automation tools at company events and public events to increase adoption.
