An old rusty wobbly-headed crooked hammer is the best tool for the job if it's right next to you and you only need to pound in a couple of nails.
- jrockway 18y agoWhile true that an old rusty wobbly-headed crooked hammer is the best tool for the job if it's right next to you and you only need to pound in a couple of nails, we are talking about programming web applications here. In that case, I always use good tools because typing in a few lines of Perl or Lisp is just as easy as typing in a few lines of PHP. Easier, usually.
- etal 18y agoIsn't it always just a couple more nails, here and there, till the next feature's ready to go?
- lliiffee 18y agoSure, commonly when you have a big project, it seems like it is just a few remaining details. That doesn't mean- as you seem to suggest- that small little problems don't exist!
