eternal war between "avoid reinventing the wheel" and ahistorical "not invented here" Did you intend to say something else? Because that's the same thing twice

eternal war between "avoid reinventing the wheel" and ahistorical "not invented here" Did you intend to say something else? Because that's the same thing twice: you reinvent a wheel because the other wheel was 'not invented here', so if you avoid reinventing a wheel, you are suffering from NIH. It's hard to avoid reinventing the wheel if all you know is what was invented 'here' and 'recently'.
