Sometimes it’s better to do just the thing you want, and nothing more. Othertimes it’s better to rely on tried and tested solutions.
I’m still scratching my head over the crazy unnecessary feature in log4j2 that lead to their massive security vulnerability recently. A feature that I had never heard of nor would have ever used.
The trade off isn’t always obvious between reduced attack surface of bespoke solutions vs the many eyes on popular public solutions.
