My variation on your rule:
Never write code when something else with a FOSS[1] license will do.

[1] FOSS = Free and Open Source Software

P.S. Although Web 2.0 is admittedly most interesting, it still concerns
me that our various communications infrastructures seem to be migrating
from more 'open' paradigms (Usenet anyone? blogs?) to more
closed/proprietary/corporate infrastructure (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
It surprises me that very few people seem to be talking about this
aspect of these changes...
