I recall I don't know Rick meme instantly. It is obviously contrary. Always doing something on your own is the most expensive way, in my opinion.
Ouch. I guess you never did one of those "we brought large-software-X, and are in 2/3 of the way to implement it; we just need you to plug you in-house software-Y to it" projects, where you end up reimplementing every single feature from X into Y and make people give-up on the brought software before the vendor finishes installing it or allows you to see the documentation on how to plug anything into it.
Those are so common that I think they are the majoritarian way any large software is brought.
