+
+Usually, in software development, there isn't always a definitive black-and-white answer to a question or situation.
+
+Most of the time, the answer is "it depends".
+
+How you approach a problem depends on context.
+
+How long do you have?
+
+Are you working on the final version or a prototype or minimum-viable product?
+
+Should you use a contributed module or write one yourself?
+
+What if an existing module hasn't been updated for some time or doesn't have tests or other quality checks included?
+
+Do you write custom CSS or use a framework like Tailwind CSS or Bootstrap?
+
+Should this project be written in this framework or CMS, or would a different one be better suited?
+
+## Here's the thing...
+
+There are usually multiple approaches to achieve the same result.
+
+Decisions will depend on a combination of various factors. In a different situation, the answer could be different.
+
+This doesn't make any solution outright wrong.
+
+It was right given the situation.
