the best solution wins

Minor quibble, but: not really. The earliest solution wins, e.g. rails. It has to be good enough, but after a certain point "best" stops mattering.

Minor minor quibble, but: not really. The earliest solution wins, unless there is a 10x better solution, e.g Google. There were a lot of good enough options, but after a certain benchmark "earliest" stops mattering.
