I'm not sure I get the joke... that's actually a great book. Is the joke that they read that book and no other book?

- nicholasjarnold 5y agoI read it like: Someone reads (skims?) that book, vaguely grasps the power of the concepts therein and then begins to treat everything like a nail that needs their hammer...failing to realize that many times and at many companies a simpler approach is good enough and the better choice for many definitions of better. That insistence to see everything as a nail once you learn the hammer is the hubris of the not-actually-senior software engineer. Those who can determine when the complex approaches are warranted versus when they are not is the real senior.
