IT World: Rob Cheyne on Developer Tools and Why You Don’t Use Them
Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Some of the reasons developers don’t use tools: Not needing the functionality, they’re not part of the development process, and it’s hard to convince management they’re necessary. Rob Cheyne, founder and CEO, Safelight Security Advisors, weighs in on these issues and points to debuggers as an example of a tool category that took some time to catch on. “The tools that truly improve ROI will always be adopted in the long run,” says Cheyne.
