Comment on Ask HN: Are authors of “how to be great developer” blogs great developers?parent

I am using the plumber/plumbing analogy all the time.

- Can x be done ?

- Yeah, it's like plumbing and data travel through pipes. Theoretically, anything is possible. But some plumbing require time/money/expertise we don't have.

I prefer this analogy to the first one I came up with at the beginning: we are basically just form builders automating if the form is filled correctly. Way less sexy than the plumbing analogy.
