Interesting take on the NIH term. I thought this was more an ego thing for the big tech companies. They love to reinvent existing things to look like geniuses

- commandlinefan 8y agoI think you're correct on the origin of the term, and I should have mentioned that - but in the past few decades, I've been accused of "NIH"-ing whenever I've "rolled something" of my own from authentication to IoC. Just because there's a library that has a particular description attached to it doesn't mean that it should be used as often as it can be.
