> take a bunch of large, mostly-complete logical components that somebody else engineered and then use them to stitch together a solution by integrating these existing frameworks that already provide the first 80+% of the technical solution to carry the last ~20% toward a domain-specific use-case This seems like a strange objection, considering that a) getting technology to fit the use case is all virtually everybody wants, and b) having to do 20% of the solution from scratch--rather than, say, the last 0.10%--would be an _enormous_ undertaking. Or don't you consider the silicon, microcode, network, servers, physical protocol, wire protocol, operating system, standards, tools, language, and compiler in that equation? If not then where do you draw the line?
