“Not Invented Here” Syndrome, still a trap, even with AI
“Not Invented Here” (NIH) syndrome is that voice in your head that says, “we can build that ourselves,” every time someone suggests using an external solution. It's the organizational equivalent of refusing to ask for directions because you're pretty sure you can figure out the route—even though your phone has GPS and traffic data that would get you there faster. For decades, this syndrome has led engineering teams down expensive rabbit holes: rebuilding open-source libraries, creating internal project management tools instead of using Jira or Linear, building custom authentication systems instead of integrating with Auth0.

You can iterate on designs in half the time, but if you don't know what's broken about the current experience, you're just polishing problems more efficiently. The real bottleneck isn't development velocity—it's decision velocity. And that comes down to metrics.
