Much of this article's concerns can be addressed by a handful of tenets: - spend time to understand the problem being solved. - research applicable technologies for the problem which align closest with what the team knows. - keep an open mind for other applicable technologies, but do not incorporate them without cause. - accept that there are innumerable alternate ways to solve any given problem, but the time to solve is finite. - do not emotionally attach oneself to the current solution so that other approaches can be objectively considered and employed when beneficial. - alter technology used when benefit is identified and risk to success is minimized.
