Don't Roll Your Own


Project scaffolding
When starting a new project, you can roll-your-own application build process, or start with where the general tech community has migrated towards. I hesitate to use the word "standard" build process as it has an overloaded, heavy-handed connotation.
Instead of "standard", I prefer the term "adopted". The open-source community has adopted modern build environment practices. Don't get me wrong, we need web standards, our beloved ECMA-262 maintained by TC39, IETF RFC 9293 - Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and many others. Standards bodies help pave the path for interoperability across industries.
Tomorrow, I will provide my chosen build environment for the hackathon.
