NIH has shifted in meaning over time. It used to literally mean Not Invented Here.
In the original sense, the NIH approach would be to invent a rivalling technique to the message broker. That is indeed a questionable idea.
- ecshafer 3y agoI think I just got it wrong. Not invented here sounds better and more right. I just typically think of only the acronym, and decided to write it out in case someone hadn’t heard it (and thus made a mistake). Good catch.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoThere's a bunch of alternative meanings that have cropped up to suit the new and wider meaning (which is definitely common). Seen Not Implemented Here too.
