I wish more software engineers realized they "Maslow's Hammer" their problems fairly often.

Put briefly. If you only have a hammer, all problems look like nails.

If all you know is React, suddenly every problem seems like it's solved with React. If all you know is Wordpress, then Wordpress is the solution. If all you know is C#, then it's the best and final language for every problem.
