木匠的寓言:

Anyone who has been around the software integration
business for a while can attest to one truism. The choices
you make at the beginning of your project, when you’re
assembling the toolkit that will provide the foundation of
your endeavor, are some of the most crucial.

Imagine you’re building a house. You have a 2×4 that you
want to nail to a beam. There are people out there who,
lacking a hammer, would grab the nearest rock and start
wailing away. Others, distrustful of store-bought hammers,
would construct a forge and fashion their own hammer to
their own precise specifications. Still other people might
rush down to their local hardware store and buy the fanciest
laser-leveled batterypowered auto-hammer they could get. Finally,
a seasoned carpenter might take the trusty hammer that he knows
like the back of his hand from his belt, and drive that nail straight and true.
