  There's always going to be that guy. The question is whether he builds his own shed or gets to design the whole skyscraper.

    The equation is better expressed as "Build versus Buy", imho. Actually it seems to me to be a 'natural law' of software development - no matter the discipline/industry/inkling - that on certain event horizons, one must decide whether to build something, or buy it. For many people, the act itself is all that matters. For some, its the users who decide.

      I think you might be that guy. Don't worry about it - that guy gets to work on some cool stuff.
