have to agree on that, there's the variation, it's faster if you take it's code verbatim, run it, and debug where there's obvious problems... but then you are vulnerable to unobvious problems, when a hacky way of doing it is weak to certain edge cases... and no real way to do it.

Reading it's code, understanding it, finding the problems from the core, sounds as time consuming as writing the code.
