Hi, everyone! We are some of the authors behind Uber’s OSS developer tools, which have appeared in HN previously, including: Piranha (automated stale flag cleanup and code refactoring), NullAway/NilAway (NPE/nil panic static detection), OkBuck, etc.<p>While we think all those tools are great (they are not going away and there are hopefully more to come both from us and from the team remaining at Uber!), we believe that the main thing a developer platform team brings to a company is an integrated experience. We started Gitar to provide that same experience across multiple companies, including those which do not (yet) have a large developer platform team!<p>We have plenty of ideas (starting with some interesting tooling around code refactoring!), but also happy to hear about the challenges you all see at various scale companies related to developer experience and tooling.
I really enjoy much of Ubers tooling.<p>TFA seems to explain the problems they are trying to solve but not the solutions. Currently these problems seem well solved by the intellij line of products with [insert favorite linter here].<p>Maybe I'm missing something
