| Mar 11, 2011 at 19:19 | comment | added | asoundmove | I agree with Jonathan, the brain is often underestimated. In fact too many programmers rely on the few tricks they know instead of stepping outside the box and occasionally writing a bespoke (cheap and dirty, throw away class) test case and test tool to investigate the problem at hand. I have on many occasions given developpers the means to go beyond their state of thinking and solve their problems with not much more than a few questions. | |

| Mar 11, 2011 at 18:43 | comment | added | David Thornley | I have rendered mine mostly unserviceable on occasion. | |
| Mar 11, 2011 at 18:39 | comment | added | Anto | But is it underestimated? I have never thrown it away as if it was a "useless" tool | |
