An experienced software developer is famous for solving a specific type of bug by using a particular coding technique that has worked for them hundreds of times. When faced with a new, slightly different bug, they persistently apply the same old technique, even after it repeatedly fails to fix the issue and the evidence suggests a different approach is needed. Which cognitive obstacle to effective problem-solving is this developer demonstrating?

A seasoned chef is famous for a complex sauce made using a traditional whisking technique. The restaurant buys a new high-speed immersion blender designed to create smoother sauces in a fraction of the time. Despite the new tool's potential, the chef continues to apply their old, familiar whisking motions while using the new blender, resulting in a poorly mixed sauce. They fail to adopt a different, simpler approach better suited for the new equipment. Which cognitive obstacle is the chef most clearly demonstrating?
