<p>I've been surprised to still recently find software development agencies using their own proprietary content management systems and frameworks.</p><p>With so many available open source options, like Drupal and Symfony, why would people write their own?</p><p>Why spend the time and effort to build basic functionality like user registration and login when existing tools already solve that problem?</p><p>Why ignore the thousands of open source modules, themes, plugins, packages and libraries that are available?</p><p>Instead, leverage the tools that already exist and focus on solving domain-specific issues and writing code that's genuinely specific to the project.</p><p>Then you can contribute some of the saved time back to the project and make it better for yourself and others in the future and ready for the next project.</p>
