Sometimes the most extreme NIH tendencies are perfectly justified due to these constraints, and sometimes they're absurd. I don't think any point on the continuum is generally "correct" nor should be generally advocated for. Instead we should be discussing how to figure out where the point lies on the continuum, within the context of the software we're currently writing.
