I usually check if there was already an existing program I could use, instead of
recreating the wheel. As an example, I had worked on a site that want to setup a
message board. Rather than make one from scratch, which would have been a
nightmare, I got a few recommendations for PHPBB and that was a very well
developed and maintained program. If something like that didn't exist, then I
would have had to start with nothing.
