Why are the comments criticizing the article?
This is something I have seen countless times in the industry. People create some shitty things, and then hang on to it like their lives depended on it. Then other people avoid criticizing the stuff, because "it's their baby". wtf?
One of my biggest pride is to be able to say that my code is obsolete or not good enough, and be able to discard it without looking back.
This is not the same thing as "not invented here". NIH happens before you build the product (should we build or buy it?). The IKEA effect happens afterwards (my crap is golden).
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoMy only critique is the focus on managers. This phenomenon extends to everyone. You don't want to deal with a few hero seniors adamant their half-chewed solution is best either.
- wongarsu 4y agoAll the examples seem to boil down to "manager wants thing he did to be useful". Sure, that might be the IKEA effect, but it seems more likely to me that they simply don't want to be perceived as having made a mistake.
