Yes... but if you're a good engineer, why would you work with shitty tools? All things being equal, why would you choose to work with tools you find frustrating when you can work with tools you like?
That's the point: tools matter, and by holding on to crappy tools, you might be giving people a reason to not work with you.
- yitchelle 12y agoBecause, sometimes, shitty tools is all you have to work with. I work in embedded systems, and some of the tools I have available is absolutely the shittiest. Imagine debugging a realtime OS on a 8bit micro by flashing an error code through a LED.

- Drakim 12y agoBut is that because you don't have any other options available, or because your company told you to use inferior tools?
- yitchelle 12y agoThis was the only option. The other debugging options were too intrusive and would colour the information.
- jedrek 12y agoOk, but we're talking about a website, where the toolset is limited by political decisions, not technical ones.
