#249: One of the prominent discussions in the software industry is the concept of 'build versus buy.' Often the argument focuses on creating a whole system from scratch or opting for pre-built solutions. But think about it. You never start from absolute zero. When you begin developing an application, it isn't devoid of pre-existing libraries or systems. It's about identifying the point on the spectrum from which you initiate your development journey. In this episode, we speak with Hadi Chami from LEADTOOLS about how the key factors such as pricing, licensing model, support, maintenance, and the impact on the end product play significant roles in making this 'build versus buy' choice.   Hadi's contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadi-chami-002234131/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
