> absolutely ignore people who's argument is along the lines of "you are not smart enough to implement this standard. let someone else do it.”. fuck everything about that statement, and it’s false sense of superiority. In general it's not about being smart enough (although for some complicated standards maybe it's true), but rather biting off more than you realize. Everything sounds simple before you find the edge case implementation issues and have to rework and rethink a bunch of hard issues that a dozen people have already thought through. Doing it yourself is on the table, but rarely the most efficient decision.
