There's a fine line between NIH (not invented here) syndrom and overusing third party libraries. The classic example being the is-even[0] npm library, which seems like a joke, but has ~200k weekly downloads. It just seems that many devs too quickly reach for a third party library before taking a few minutes to think if it would make more sense or not to write the code themselves.
