The Right Tool for the Right Job
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010There is a common assumption among those who do not work in a technical field that because an individual is qualified to do one type of technical work, they are qualified to do it all.
Everyone hears it at some point. The dreaded phrase “well you work on computers so you must know…”.
“So, you work on computers so you must know about web design.”
Or conversely:
“You build websites so how do I fix X on my computer?”
I’m not entirely sure how this mindset came about. When you think about it, do you go to a proctologist if you have skin problems? Of course not! You see the dermatologist.
