- wpietri 5y agoFor sure. Right tools for the job. Indeed, I'd say that a lot of the software development I do isn't Real Engineering. And that's fine! I have a lot of respect for the people who make 50-story skyscrapers. But a lot of the time what people need is a modest one-story apartment, a redone kitchen, a backyard doghouse. Or a movie set that just looks like an apartment.
