Why Developers Trust Their Tools
Stack Overflow Blog

EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt says new tools keep changing, so people struggle to trust them the way they trust stable, familiar tools. It compares this to a kitchen knife that changed shape and weight, which would force repeated relearning. It also suggests the issue is not just the tool, but how it fits into the surrounding process.
INSIGHTS
For learners, this is a reminder to choose tools you can use consistently and to notice whether problems come from the tool or your workflow. Try pairing any new coding or AI tool with a simple repeatable process so you can judge it fairly.
