> Using it wrong on every codebase that wasn't even made by me but instead by my employers? If it's happening that many times, the tool is to blame.

You could say that about chainsaws lopping off arms. Perhaps the user is not sufficiently competent to use the tool correctly…




If chainsaws are popping off arms, then maybe we should have safety features, you know, like many blade driven devices already do these days. Again an example of a tool that evolves to meet users' needs instead of resorting to "you're using it wrong," this is a basic principle of product design.
