Imagine if every six months, your circular saw became incompatible with the version of wood you need to cut.

Meanwhile, the hammer you use is no longer supported, and breaks every time you pick it up, but using a new hammer means changing every single nail in the parts that you've already completed.

Then the job ends, and you look for a new job, they don't think you're qualified because you used the same chisel for two years, and don't think you'll know how to use the new chisel design that came out 3 months ago.

This made me lol, thank you ... Those poor carpenters. Thousands of years of metaphorical abuse.
