Re: Eh?

When you provide your workforce with hammers and screwdrivers, and the screwdriver users only occasionally fuck up a screw and the hammer users regularly fuck screws up, then your answer isn't "who do you blame, the hammer or the person using the hammer badly" it's "why are you consistently using this tool that evidence shows doesn't produce good results?".

You can say it's not the tools fault all you like but the data shows there aren't enough devs who are competent enough with the tool they've been given to do a good job. Moaning that the tool is perfectly servicable does nothing to help fix the problem. It's just sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la, can't hear you!".
