I don't see what all the fuss is. A good craftsman could build a house no matter what hammer he chooses. Don't be such a snob about insisting that hammers must have heads to drive nails, just because all the hammers you've used before happened to have them.
- tptacek 14y agoFor that matter, why do they even need handles? Primitive ape-men just used big rocks as their tools. If it's good enough for the ape-men...!
- Roboprog 14y agoHey, you read the article that inspired the artifact! linked...
- chris_wot 14y agoI'll have you know that a good Ape man doesn't need a stick. He uses his eye-socket!
- jrockway 14y agoA rock would be too simple; this is PHP, after all. (Where's my NailDriverDeviceFactoryModuleImpl?)
- wladimir 14y agoYou're confused with Java. In PHP it is simple, just counter-intuitive and set up to mislead you. It would look like a rock but turn into a viscous liquid as soon as you try to hit the nail and the nails get stuck in it.
- wtracy 14y agoIn Java it would be: DeviceFactoryFactory().createDeviceFactory().getNailDriverDeviceFactoryModuleImpl();

- lloeki 14y agoSounds like a description of a non-newtonian fluid, like maize flour mixed with water (which you can compact in your hand but liquefies when thrown), or quicksand.
- johnrob 14y agoI once watched an ape-man try to use modern tools. He didn't get anything done, because he spent all his time trying to figure out how to use them. Simple people need simple tools. We thus can't complain about the existence of such tools.
- MartinCron 14y agoYou had a great opportunity to use the word "peen" in context and you let it go. Shame.

- ricksta 14y agothanks that gave me a laugh!
- DanWaterworth 14y agoThe fuss is that good tools don't require you to be a prize-winning craftsman to do day-to-day things.
