The flaw with this analogy is that when you need to revisit the house you built with a hammer and nails, you can continue using your nail gun. In S/W development, you have to go back to using the hammer and nails (or at the very least have a strong understanding of the hammer and nails). Furthermore, once you've built a house, it's built, and the work you will be doing on it will be minimal. Software development is almost the opposite.

Say clients wanted a kitchen completely remodeled, you still don't have to use hammer and nails or nail gun --- I could easily demolish the kitchen and 3D print the new kitchen What you know/done before doesn't necessarily dictate what you'll [can] do (which is the case on the Web)

- scope 11y agoI guess my analogy is being scrutinized (so to speak), that being said; YES!, that WILL happen if the carpenter doesn't know any better (or is a crook). A smart/savvy (or whatever you want to call it) carpenter will easily do the modification[S] without tearing down the entire kitchen. Just like you can drop React into an existing project.
