Summary
The blog post discusses the prevalence of hidden, unmaintained internal tools in companies (called dark-matter enterprise software) and introduces the concept of hyper-team software, where small teams create their own tools to address unmet needs. It explores the benefits and potential pitfalls of this approach, and emphasizes the importance of establishing guidelines to avoid chaos in implementation.
