Be A Polyglot!

A couple of days ago a colleague of mine was reading out loud some code he was debugging, and I could have sworn he was direct quoting from Execution In The Kingdom Of Nouns.

That story is one of my favorite warnings against the notion that software development is a “one size fits all” proposition. There’s great value in being fluent in a number of tools and approaches, and using the right tool for the job. Can this be taken to an unhealthy extreme? Of course, but in general the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
