Everybody loves NIH until what gets invented is dogshit. Seriously, it's easy to romanticise the idea but wait until you have to work on something that evolved over a decade without any refactoring or documentation, and worse, the author is a lifer who couldn't ever imagine that their code could use improvement. I'll migrate to whatever silly API react router has cooked up this year over living that again, thanks.
