Being willing to touch third party code. There was a situation where the higher ups wanted us to have a specific feature, and the literal only two available options were to either fork the SDK of a commercial SaaS, or to not have that feature at all. That SaaS's support team confirmed they weren't going to implement that in their SDK. There were two dev teams involved in this, and every person from these two teams (except myself and another dev) were strongly against the fork, but didn't suggest any other option to have that feature, and of course not having this feature wasn't even an option, but then they didn't suggest any other way to achieve it. It was like looking at third party code was heresy for them. Not best practice, antipattern, and other expressions like that were thrown around. The amount of frustration from that whole thing is something I don't want to experience again if possible.
