I catch myself telling those just getting into the industry that of course the tools don’t matter, the work does, and I fully stand behind that. We’re also stubborn though, but in this case, I don’t think it’s such a bad thing. In the end though, even those ideas are revealed, albeit on a much more grand scale when compared to a blog post and a comment thread. That is of course unless the victory quickly lead to a business plan with potential to transform itself into your retirement fund completely understandable in that case.

If at one point we had a major frustration, and through time and trial we were able to overcome it, it’s rare that the victory is boxed up and locked away for Me, Myself, and I. Beyond that, we like talking about how we do things because we like to share our successes as well as our failures. It’s more often than not unspoken, but when it comes up that a complete stranger chose the same text editor as you (and stuck with it through years upon years of vaporware rumors) there’s a quick common ground for discussion. Finding common ground within a workflow or over a chosen tool is an instant bond between two of us. We all love talking about the way we do things. There’s some absolute truth to that, but: it’s about the tools. However, I’ve caught myself a number of times telling up-and-coming developers or designers that the tool doesn’t matter, it’s the work that comes of it. When speaking to other developers, designers, and pretty much anyone else who works primarily on the Web, the conversation nearly always at some point reaches the topic of tools what’s newest, what’s best, what’s different, and (usually most exciting) what’s to come.
