Great comment.
Good methods are more important than tools, to keep projects on track. As in, methods of doing things, not OOP methods.
Tools, while they can be useful (though no panacea), are secondary, and also, some tools bind you into fixed ways of doing things, which may be a hindrance at times.
- jwdunne 9y agoAnother dark side to tools is that they are a vector for procrastination. You can convince yourself (or justify at least) that you need a new X and that's the answer. You'll spend a few hours evaluating various Xs. You might end up using it for a few days but then you quickly fall back to the tools you usually use. I've seen this with email clients, todo apps, project management tools, etc.
