Use Boring Solutions

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Often when working with both startups and project teams at larger, more seasoned companies I encounter a variation of the not invented here syndrome.

However, more often than not instead of building the 'perfect' solution for your product yourself it might be a good idea to ...

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.From the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition: 3. Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to. 35. Peace is good for business. 125. You can't make a deal if you're dead. ... In a recent online discussion involving ethics somebody only somewhat jokingly said something along the lines of "Most people only abide by the Rules of Acquisition anyway." and I thought to myself: Would that really be so bad?
