We've spent years telling folks that $X is too hard; so just out-source to $LIB or $PACKAGE or $VENDOR. Now we've got a whole huge group of builders, managers of makers that make these plans/calls.
We should stop saying $X is too hard and start, at least, trying to help more folk realize it can be done in house.
It all started when it became "too much trouble to host your own email" and then all the centralization and vendorification happened...and stay off my lawn!
