Yea, tools and processes they’ve decided on decades ago. You don’t see these people writing blog posts about new tools and wasting time evaluating them yearly like in tech.
If there’s an actual issue like there was with deaths in the medical profession due to not washing hands, then they evaluate.
1. There probably is quite a bit of discussion about tool selection in some fields. Surgical innovations didn't end with the invention of the scalpel. I'm sure there's lots of discussion about the appropriate use cases for robotic vs laprascopic vs traditional surgery, we just don't see them because we're on a tech forum and not where medical doctors discuss tools. I can say for a fact that I've seen more written about the merits of various screwdriver heads than I would have thought possible.
2. Software development is a little unique as an industry since it's not all that common that the users of the tools are also the people who make the tools. There's naturally going to be a lot of discussion about tools if you're both the maker and the user of them.
3. Us not having a standard for which tool to use is a reason to have these discussions, not a reason to say "pick whatever, it doesn't matter". The reason that those people don't write blog posts and have discussions about the merits of a hammer vs. a screwdriver is precisely because they're so well established - if both were a couple of years old, absolutely people in construction would be discussing whether to use nails or screws for an application.
...except those field are literally a thousands years old, while software industry is about 70?
Them being more mature doesn't change the fact that processes and tools are crucial
SPA, MPA, who cares. Ship.
