If the whole “square peg, round hole” BS was a valid argument for anything, all doors we go through would have to be shaped exactly like our own profile as we pass them.

"Square peg, round hole" is not a lesson in shaping, it is a lesson in tolerances and overkill. Anything will fit in anything if you just leave a big enough clearance fit. Machinist big brain.

I am aware of that. Unfortunately that’s not how I see it mostly used in the field.

Sounds like you are a square peg in a round hole that is full of dumb dumbs in your field.

My field is software engineering. I agree.
