Which do you prefer to do with your sites?
Write all your code from scratch while using your own library of code
or
Use ready made scripts for what you're working on and just modify the script?
Personally I like to write everything myself so I know exactly how to maintain something or upgrade it.
Ready made scripts or write your own?

At this point in time I like to base my work on a small lightweight set of structures and associated functions I've been developing and using where I work. I'm about to put it together into a package called Small Unit Raid. Ultimately, I want all of the db access to use the dbx functions, but I haven't got the time right now to hash out the particulars of that.
However, when I stumble across small snippets of code that are just downright awesome, I incorporate them into what I do as well.
Now there is a lot to be said for Application Frameworks in that they can increase the productivity of a group many fold. And when you get right down to it, it's probably a good idea to use a pre-written one or develop one of your own.

I write my scripts myself, for a couple reasons:
a: I cant stand dirty and clustered code.
b: Some people over-comment their work
c: Pre-made scripts usually use unrelated names for variables, eg: Say there is a variable for a messagesent function, they use $ffx3f instead of an easy to read $messagesend. (Get what i'm saying?)
d: Some people under-comment their work and make it hard for people to re-edit.
They are just a few reasons, i write self-commented code, which is neaty spaced and organisated in a very strict way eg:
code
{
new code
}
code
{
new code
{
new code
}
}
but, thats just me.
