Maslow's Hammer: If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
In software engineering:
- If you only know SQL, every data problem looks like a database problem
- If you only know REST, every API looks like a CRUD interface
- If you only know React, every UI problem looks like a component problem
- If you only know microservices, every system looks like it needs to be distributed
The solution is expanding your toolkit and learning when different tools are appropriate.
