programming is knowing your tool well enough to know that it can do what is asked of it

so often I have seen juniors promise the world to the client, only to be laid low by the tool

As with any craft, you need to master a variety of tools and you need to know what they can and cannot do well. Greenhorns make mistakes for sure, but in my experience it's usually the sales-drones making outlandish promises to get the contract. Then along come the project managers and "architects" and try to shoehorn the project into a platform and toolchain that is completely unsuited for it.

So the moral of the story is ... don't reinvent the wheel.
