  1. This I agree with almost completely. In 99.9999% of the cases usage of an existing standard is likely to be the better choice and in the majority of those finding a library (even if there is a $$$ cost) is likely to be the road that leads to maximum ROI.

    Yet, that still leaves the choice of which standard and then which implementation and 1ppm of cases (and with the number of efforts this does actually add up) there can be a compelling reason to “go custom”.

    As always, I recommend doing a proper analysis (it does not need to be long or involved in the vast majority of cases) rather than ever accepting something as a universal “best practice”.
