Right tool for the job ⇝
Wynn Netherland • 2017-02-19
"Use the right tool for the job" is an oft-repeated aphorism in the tech world. In my experience, I have found this aphorism to be said a lot but actually implemented rarely and to also omit the reality of how technology choices are made.
I nodded along with Peter's real world translations for this overused phrase in tech. Development is about tradeoffs. There is rarely a single right tool for any software job.
