Are you implying that they are fixing their tools rather than cars? I don't know any mechanic that would put up with that and would replace their tools with tools that actually work.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoExcept mechanics tools are fairly simple devices based on thousands of years of standardization. I think probably a better example would be someone working in a lab on experimental devices. Software tooling is often absurdly complex and relatively new with no clear standard. In 100 years I’ll wager things are not like this.

- MrVandemar 3y agoI think the implication was that mechanics generally spend all day "debugging" a car or other machine.
- bmitc 3y agoYes, exactly, because that's actually supporting my point. That is their job, so they spend all day doing their job instead of diversions along the way.
