Wow, I've never heard that excuse before ... not. Any skilled
tradesperson or professional will use better tools when they are
available. Programmers are one of the few professions that don't. I
honestly have tried to figure this out, as have many others, but I'm

You know who else are stumped? Carpenters who wanted to catch their own
mistakes rather than having safety guards on their saws.
