Funny story on this subject. When I was transitioning from academia to industry, I was afraid (having browsed hackernews so much) that I would be harshly judged for reinventing the wheel. So I removed the CSV library I had written from Github. Shortly thereafter, I was emailed by a well-known programmer (the creator of a fairly major language) asking why I had removed my CSV library, which he was using in one of his projects! Here's the library, btw: https://github.com/semitrivial/csv_parser https://github.com/semitrivial/csv_parser
