"I definitely wouldn't handle it that way"

This is good.

"My experience however, leads me to believe these are not standard/best practices."

Why don't you trust your experience?

Some more thoughts about your request:

I feel competent to say some things about most of the examples you posted because most of this stuff is a good part of my daily work.

But what do you think? How should i (or some other monk) handle this kind of request?

Can you imagine what this implies?

I think PM isn't made for the things you request.

Edit: I changed my mind

Update: Just some thoughts about code reuse, for example:

From time to time i stumble over some code i wrote some years ago - in different languages.

It's always the same - i ask myself (or i am asked): "Why did i/you do it?"

Many reasons:

I hope you got it ;-)

My best regards, Karl
