Sometimes it's not so much "NIH syndrome" as "Everything else really, truly is crap". Scottschulthess mentiones that all CMSes are terrible. Some of my colleagues, for example, needed to spin up hundreds of virtual machines very very quickly, and as it turns out, OpenStack is absolute crap. So they took 2 weeks and wrote something a fraction of the size of OpenStack which can have hundreds of virtual machines running in the time it takes OpenStack to boot up 1/10th as many... and crash.

- zrail 14y agoWould they consider open sourcing what they made? Sounds very interesting.
- jff 14y agoThey're working on it, and I'll make sure to post it on HN when it goes open source.
