Store-bought scripts and square wheels
September 3, 2003
I’m reasonably competent with a number of different web development technologies, but I try not to spend a lot of time re-inventing the wheel.
Sometimes there will be a widget that I’ll need to add to a site that would cost more in terms of development time than it would to go buy a widget script off the shelf and use it. Other times, crisis or hard deadlines will make it worth spending a few bucks to have something now rather than delay things while I puzzle it out.
In either case, the driving function is the time it takes to get it right…
