In Spanish, we have a saying: "En casa de herrero, cuchara de palo".
A rough translation would be "in the blacksmith's house you'll find wood spoons". It's not a new thing, it's been like that since ancient times.

Is that the same thing? The impression I get is that OPs post is about the IT worker actively distrusting smart tech. While I assume your example is more that the blacksmith doesn't bother with making metal spoons for himself and using what ever he had already, which would be more comparable to a network engineer still using the ISPs shitty router.

Wooden spoons are better for cooking with cast iron pots and pans, which a blacksmith, being knowledgeable about metal, would be vey aware of.

Just as the it person is way more aware of the pitfalls of smart tech than your average person

I thought it was just teflon that is too weak to handle metal tools.

Metal tools also scrape the bottom lining that forms over time off, which is a big no no when cooking with cast iron.

The seasoning? I seriously doubt that. People seem to think cast iron is more vulnerable than it is. You can wash it, too, just dry it off after.

Whatever man, the wooden spoons taste better i guess, that's the reason now
