I tell co-workers that in a different way! There are certain tasks that I do in a database, that if I do it I do it through T-SQL, but I tell newer techs to do it through the UI because it’s safer. Or I tell them to use simplified scripts that take longer, but require less knowledge from the user.
Or like we have this script that lists like 40 potential issues. New folks are told to just fix all of them, but for folks who are very familiar (or wrote the scripts) I’m aware there are certain ones I can skip if other problems are present, because in certain situations they can fix each other.
So “I know what I’m doing, don’t do it this way until you know what you’re doing” I think is appropriate in a lot of things.
