Some questions you encounter in technology are intrinsically sickening and offensive.
Like: why couldn’t you have written this program in language X? I can’t imagine a more naive question.
Language is a substantial implementation detail that depends entirely on the training of the person or people authoring code.
How are you supposed to answer this? It’s not like you necessarily had a choice.
It’s like dumb questions about heritage or gender.
Why couldn’t you have been a man/woman born here or there to parents this or that?
The question is so dumb, it’s not even a question but an insulting commentary
Q: why did the world make you this way?
A: I was molded by personal experience, industrial experience, and formal training.
I will never undertake a complex project that has stakeholders and expectations unless I am reasonably confident I can complete it using tools I know and have competency with.
