What do you do when the black box doesn't work?

Almost everything I work with has bugs, so chances are I'm going to run into one. It's a lot easier for me to fix bugs when there are fewer layers and more of them are written by me. Of course, I can't write all the layers, but if they run on my service, I have to be prepared to fix them, or suffer from them being broken until a benevolent force fixes them for me. (Sometimes that happens, but usually not for the harder problems)

Until I have to come in behind you after you’ve left for greener pastures and I have to figure out your bespoke framework and libraries.

Don't worry, I would never write a bespoke framework. I'd write a custom one. :P
