in reply to (OT) Generated Code vs. Libraries

While I have my thoughts on what I'd do if the project was just beginning ... remember the all-important adage:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
