Honestly, if more people went into every language with that mindset, there'd be a lot less bickering and problem a lot more getting done in the world.
- TrevorJ 5y agoIt's a tall order. My observation with people with mastery, who switch to a new tool, is that usually: A- something external has forced the change, in which case it's hard for them to be patient/charitable. or B- they like their current tool, but have some ultra specific complaints that they hope the new tool will address whilst leaving the rest intact. Basically, the common circumstances around these things leads to some biases. I think one way to address this, is to simply be aware of ourselves. Another would be to ensure people use a large variety of tools early on in their education/career. The meta-skill of navigating to a new tool is something we get better at with practice.
