Yeah, somebody has to work super hard, to make somebody elses job super easy. Write it yourself, or maybe you cant, and blaming someone elses code is a distract

- afarrell 8y agoIt is a poor carpenter who blames his tools. Why? Because a skilled carpenter has money to buy the best tools. Tools matter. Developer experience matters. Cognitive cost matters when tools are used by non-infinite brains. If you don’t believe that, then build a product with a confusing UI and try selling it. New != good though.
- noir_lord 8y agoIt's rare that new ever equals good, even the best stuff takes time to mature into good. It starts with interesting and then moves on to good later I think.
- rangibaby 8y agoA skilled carpenter has the tools that are necessary for the job, their price doesn’t matter. In a couple of industries I have worked in there is a tier of expensive tools that are basically ways of extracting free money from professionals (when someone else is paying) and rich amateurs who want to feel superior to their friends
- afarrell 8y ago> A skilled carpenter has the tools that are necessary for the job, their price doesn’t matter Very true. A skilled carpenter is discerning about his tools and know where it matters to spend more money.
