Not Invented Here? More Like Not Good Enough

reinventing-the-wheel-memes, nih-syndrome-memes, developer-pride-memes, overengineering-memes, custom-solutions-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The eternal developer's paradox: rejecting perfectly functional apps because "someone else built it" while gleefully wasting entire weekends reinventing the wheel. Nothing screams "programmer" like spending 47 hours coding your own to-do app because the existing ones don't have that one obscure feature you'll use exactly once. The "deal-with-sunglasses" transformation represents that magical moment when you convince yourself that your janky homemade solution is somehow superior to the polished product with years of development and an actual QA team. It's not NIH syndrome—it's "professional growth"!

Real Struggle

The multi-monitor dependency is REAL . Once you've experienced the sweet digital real estate of three screens, your productivity gets absolutely wrecked when forced back to laptop life. It's like trying to code through a keyhole. Your workflow becomes a crawl, your IDE tabs multiply like rabbits, and Alt+Tab becomes your most abused keyboard shortcut. The stretcher scene is basically your productivity being carried away on life support. Trust me, I've been there - frantically searching for HDMI adapters in hotel rooms like some kind of display junkie.

Old Man = Null

Old Man = Null

When someone yells "Is there a doctor?!" at an emergency, they're probably not looking for someone who can debug their code. The CS doctor's solution? Just set the old man's health to 100% like it's a simple property assignment! If only fixing human health was as easy as object.property = value . Unfortunately, human bodies don't respond to direct property manipulation—they require actual medical knowledge. That poor guy is about to find out the hard way that JavaScript can't save lives (unless it's the life of a web application).
