Yeah this isn't going to work. The detection threshold is so low it's gonna go off if someone is smoking weed within 500 feet. There will be so many false positives it will practically be a divining rod.
Police already abuse sniffer dogs frequently, we shouldn't allow them to use another unreliable tool to arrest people.
It's not the same as copying the "feature", in many cases Google straight up takes your content and puts it on their homepage. The difference between a product and a feature is nothing. Every app made is just a bunch of features put together. AWS S3 is a great example, it's just like Dropbox for nerds.
A lyrics website recently put fake lyrics on their site to prove Google was copying, and sure enough the fake lyrics showed up a couple weeks later.
Google isn't just taking content from "evil" companies like Yelp, they're doing it to everybody.
Job search, shopping, song lyrics, news, and who knows what else, is all being somewhat blatantly lifted. And nobody can stop it because blocking Google is a death knell to any site
Eh, not using popular frameworks is a recipe for unmaintainable sites. You're missing a lot of features these provide for free.
Accessibility
Cross browser polyfills
Easy translation support
Automatic mobile view
Developer mindshare
The lack of polyfills is VERY concerning. Your site probably doesn't work on 10% of browsers. And getting from 90-99% is an excercise in futility.
If you used a popular UI framework and transpilation you could easily write a super modern site that works on practically everything back to IE6. And with Vue or React the whole thing could be a few hundred KB, probably smaller than some of your images.
If I was brought in to work on your site, I would immediately rewrite it if it's more than a few pages. Plain HTML with PHP becomes an unmaintainable rats nest if you try to do anything complicated.
Depends on the license. If it's permissive I'll pop open the code to see if it's any good. Maybe 50/50 it's good enough.
From scratch only if I'm doing something truly unique. New algorithm/protocol. Unpopular language I'm forced to use is missing something I need. Existing solutions too slow or buggy. Maybe a couple times a year I get to make wheels.
NIH is a huge problem at most (all?) software companies. At my current place I spend about 1/2 of my time dicking around with crap internal tools and libraries.
It's rare I write anything that's not glue code. Makes everything boring but I don't get paged often and we have relatively few bugs.
