Avoid the overhead of reinventing the wheel and focus exclusively on business logic (and sometimes even that might already exist in some oss projects you can use).

I partially agree. Sometimes it's better to reinvent the wheel: you got better control and less risks.

Well, I'm not saying that people just put whatever first library they found as a dependency. We should review different options and pick the most mature that adjusts to our case.

Ultimately, software used and contributed by many people in a community is far less likely to have risks than one a single developer cobbled together to deliver a feature as fast as possible.

You can't, I just use the markdown syntax and hope for the best =D
