I think the author understands the NIH syndrome just fine, and starts the whole post describing the IH syndrome as the extreme opposite of NIH pretty well, where one is ready bend over backwards to use a subset of a 3rd party library, even if it might be easier and quicker to implement the desired functionality yourself. Are you afraid to write code? Does the thought linger in your brain that somewhere out there somebody has already done this? Do you find yourself trapped in an analysis cycle where nothing is getting done? Is your product mutating to accommodate third party components? If yes, then perhaps you are suffering from invented-here syndrome.
