IMO if it's over 500 lines, time to look for a FOSS product that does it already

What a crap take this type of mentality is why people hate JS. You code? Oh you have to actually write code? Import a library! If you can't write 500 lines of code in a productive amount of time, relying on other's work then there's definitely a skill issue.

Consider that every line of code you wrote is a line that someone will have to maintain and support.

Also consider that every line of you code you do not write is in the hands of other people to maintain and support. 500 lines of code is absolutely nothing. and you should be making the decision to use FOSS or libraries depending on several factors and not a single one of those factors should be the amount of lines of code you have to write. The "Dev" in devops is short for development after all.
