...Because a good workman knows the difference between the right tool and a piece of shit.
Oh sure, a good carpenter could use a damn saw to drive a nail. But only a lousy carpenter would try. And only a bad manager would expect him to.
Now I'm all for personal responsibility and whatnot. And I know that handing a professional tool to an idiot monkey probably won't get you good results. But when a someone's expected to do a job with a shitty tool, or simply the wrong tool, and the results suck...well then let's cut the crap and put the blame where it belongs: On the tool, and on the idiot who chose it.
Perhaps more importantly, let's quit abusing trite sayings to rationalize idiocy.
And speaking of bad tools: Anecdotal appeals to accomplishment do not demonstrate a tool doesn't suck. (I'm looking at you, PHP apologists.)
