Developer tools is a broad term. My subjective opinion:
* If you mean code libraries (e.g. a licensing model)? I don’t think a lot of people would pay for that these days.
* Managed solutions for sure, most developers and small companies are happy to outsource anything that reeks of devops.
* IDEs etc, yup worth every penny.
Yes, I was thinking about libraries that may boost productivity and avoid writing something from scratch.
Managed solution is a good option, need to find a way to build trust at the beginning though.
