Hi Marc

Code is bespoke if it is written specifically for a single client and or to
solve a specific, isolated problem. Thus, something like Microsoft Word is
not bespoke because it is sold off-the-shelf, and is therefore the opposite
of bespoke.

If a client employs you to write a program to transmit data from his widget
to his mainframe, then you could consider that code to be bespoke because it
would not be required by anyone else and you are creating it explicitly for
this one client.
