"for writing same tool" so..


sort by: page size:

Tools writing.

I suspect we're all talking about the same tool.

Your tool looks awesome! Yes there are lots of such tools.I should have worded mine as 'something along the lines of ...' instead of saying that its similar.

Two tools that do the same thing are allowed to exist simultaneously.

s/product/tool … the meaning remains the same.

What do you mean? They are both very different tools, no?

Hm. What about it? These are two different tools for different purposes

It means you'd use the same tool since it's more convenient and get worse results in one tool vs. the other

That is an entirely different tool with the same name.

They are two completely different tools, they can't be compared, serve different purposes.

There are different tools for different purposes.

"They are using a tool I know, therefore it's ok"

It's as if different people want to use different tools for different tasks or something.

Using the same tool for different effects.

They don't need to write up the tools, just to use them, they are widely available

For the same reason people have and use many different tools in all sorts of professions.

I think we have different definitions of "tool"

I really don't think the article was seriously suggesting what you think it was; showing similarities between different types of tools (usually a more familiar one and a less familiar one) is meant to be illustrative

True, but these are already established tools. So it evens out.
