Hammers are good tools for hitting nails, but that doesn't mean hammers are superior to other tools in any other respect.

Just because you can use the blunt end of a drill to hit a nail, doesn't mean you should give up hammers...

Arguing that someone must be wrong because they have an emotion is wrong - the amount of nails is independent of who has what tools, hammers included.

So basically their biggest problem was that node.js machine-gun hammers the filesystem with stat calls when looking for modules.

Architects can use hammers but I'm pretty sure only a few could handle a pneumatic drill properly and with safety.

The area that the media hammers hardest (foreign policy) is the one area where she disagrees with the government, and she opposes things the media is broadly in favor of (gay marriage, decriminalized marijuana).

I thought the article would have been more interesting if it had been more about frameworks and less about hammers.

Type systems aren't silver bullets for keeping agility in the face of changes, in the same way that hammers aren't silver bullets for driving nails.

DigitalOcean is your buddy who works at "Hammer&Nails Manufacturing Inc.", he can get you nice hammers and nails pretty cheap if you ask him, but not much else.

Hammers aren't used to exclude people from a path they might otherwise blissfully follow.
