- This isn't directed at you, Val, but it's related to the sentiment
- you express above:
-
- The "right tool for the job" is not the same as "my personal preference".
- If both "the right tool for the job" and "personal preference" point to
- the same language/toolset, then great. If not, then you have a decision
- to make. You can tell a hacker from an engineer in how that decision
- is made.
-
- The more tools you have experience with, the better equipped you are
- to make that decision. The more problem domains you have experience
- with, the better equipped you are, as well.
