 “Use the best tool for the job” is bullshit advice, being a lazy form of persuasion, used to justify crappy tools.

I would rather not have to learn new tools for every job, I want multipurpose tools that are useful for many jobs, that I only master once and use indefinitely, that can adapt to changing requirements, that are not a fad destined to become obsolete within the next news cycle.

“When all you have is a hammer…” hell yeah, give me a good hammer!
