Anti-HIN Heuristics:
Search → doesn’t exist at the scale of your scope→if the cost/benefit ratio makes sense, just build it.
Search → exists but bloated→ maybe still build it, consider the impact of bloat. Sometimes you go with the bloat.
Search → exists but untrusted→ maybe still build it, consider the security impact of dependencies. Sometimes the risk is minimised and you can deal with a certain amount of it.
Search → exists but bloated AND untrusted→ most likely build it, consider the double impact of bloat and attack surface that should definitely inform your cost/benefit analysis.
