It 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
