Precisely. I think a big part of maturing as an engineer is being able to see past both the hype and cynicism with new tech and instead understand that everything has strengths, weaknesses, and trade-offs, and that some things are also a matter of opinion because software development is an art as much as it is a science. The goal is to have a nuanced understanding the capabilities of each tool in order to use the right tool in the right context, mitigate its weaknesses, and pair it with your own and your team’s strengths, weaknesses, preferences, career goals, etc.
