Meeks' Conjectures on Tools:
1. Some of the most expensive mistakes you will ever make - will be when you try to perform a task without the proper tool. This will be especially true when you have a one-off task - and think you can get by using the incorrect tool.
2. Selecting a tool based on an industry analyst magical report - without actually doing a proof-of-concept evaluation - will usually lead to failure of your initiative....and massive rework.
3. There is rarely a direct correlation between the price and value of a tool. However, there is a strong correlation between a poor tool choice - and its cost.
4. Just because you can build your own tool - doesn't necessarily mean you should.
5. Just because there are suitable tools for sale - doesn't mean that you shouldn't build your own.
