i'd go one step further, they're going to turbo charge the NIH syndrome and treat every code file as a seperate "here"
 help



For others like me who know “NIH” to be “National Institutes of Health”…

“NIH” here refers to “Not Invented Here” Syndrome, or a bias against things developed externally.


Basically not wanting to use dependencies or frameworks from outside the company or team.

See I thought they were the same thing, considering the Queensland Health payroll database issues, I assumed someone coined the term assuming it would clobber Health acronyms.

Yeah it’s gonna make the bar for good enough here super easy to meet and people will have less reasons to look around outside
