Research Re-search

I have already gained some experience through the first few months of my academic research career. Never start working with a non-professional code or tool developed by another researcher of the same experience. Most of the times you would spend times after fixing things, one after the other. And also, no matter how far you work hard after fixing, you would never get any share of recongition of the good work. I am not being sarcastic, but this is like hand rule. Yes, when you know a tool been tested enough, and you know it has enough scope, you can always take the risk of working with it. Research can be your best friend, if you can get good hands in the tools you are using.
