Never expect others to help you. You are completely on your own from idea creation to execution and implementation.
This includes anything from both discovery of & grasping concepts, software/package intricacies, concurrency conflicts up and down the stack, race conditions, debugging scenarios, error tracking etc. It is entirely upon you to solve your problems - and sometimes other people's problems become your own to solve. Deal with it.
There is no wisdom in the notion "don't reinvent the wheel" when spoken with respect to systems architecture which is akin to a pile of dirt. These are not wheels, they are at best the tread to the tire and little more. Reinvent to fix the undeniably bad. Don't stick with incompetency merely because it's popular.
Problems are global, solutions are local.
No feature outweighs its performance needs. "Working" isn't good enough.
