The vast majority of algorithms I use are for parallelizing complex workloads, failure detection, and scoring systems. I usually DIY after I find the OTS ones unsatisfactory. I'm not "smarter", they're general solutions but all I seem to have in life are specific problems so specific solutions perform better.
