Who is "we"?

I've spent 15+ years doing "embedded systems" development, and for most
of that time I haven't needed any tools other than those provided by my
employer.  For a while, that wasn't much more than 'access to a system
that ran the appropriate C compiler, and a test system to run the
resulting code on, and an appropriate connection between them.'  That
used to be a Heath-19 terminal accessing a 68k based unix workstation,
and an ethernet.  But then, I was primarily an embedded SOFTWARE
engineer; someone else was designing the HW, and they had somewhat
different requirements...

No one mentioned internet access yet, or a source control utility.
