> (Sidebar: It is a common misconception in the programming world for some reason that the adage "It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools." means that someone blaming their tools proves they are a poor workman. The true meaning of the phrase is that it is a poor craftsman that has bad tools in the first place. A skilled craftsman does not use a dull saw without complaint. They get or make a sharp one, without complaint. A craftsman who uses poor tools without complaint is even poorer than the one who is at least complaining!) This is fantastic.
