The joy of NIH syndrome.

Not invented here - Wikipedia[^]

I've posted my dependency trees at the end of this post to give you an idea of my ecosystem, and how much of it is my code. Anything prefixed with "htcw_" is mine

I wrote most of the code I touch day to day. That's a good feeling, and it makes me efficient. I think most people here know what a prolific coder I am by this point, and the fact that I'm building with an utterly familiar, self-consistent, and interoperable base is a big part of why that is.

I feel like a metal worker who spent a decade putting their own shop together just the way they like it, with the tools, jig tables, hoists, and all that all cut and welded to personal spec, bespoke like, for maximum workflow efficiency.

I feel like PIEBALDconsult can appreciate this.

I understand all the reasons not to fall into NIH. Intimately, as I've been on sharp business end of trying to get up to speed with a framework developed by someone else on their own over a decade. It's daunting, no matter how well commented it is.

But gosh, it makes coding so nice when you've got your own ecosystem to work with.

Here's my dependency tree for my current UIX iteration (still in development)

Dependency Graph

And that's just my portable non-hardware specific code.

Busy Lady. I like it.
It's good you have a map.
It will be more help than you know.

I have always had confusion about the "term not invented here".
NIH = not invented here
OOC = one's own code
OBC = one's borrowed code
--
NIH <= OOC + OBC
NIH ~= OOC + OBC

Does this make sense?

It occurred to me that I feel like one of those crazy bargain hunters sometimes while coding.

"Oh, I can reuse that lexing layer in my markup reader with my CSS reader, no extra cost"

It's not even about the actual savings for me. The joy is in the kill. Big Grin | :-D

I sometimes start writing it before remembering I've already written it. And more informed than my new attempt. Mixed feeelings.

Well it spent a lot of time in the design phase, as it originally came from a refined C# project that I had reused a bunch, before porting it to C++. =) It was just good fortune all around.

The specs probably said only that it would be deployed in Arizona without clarifying that it would be a snowy part of Arizona (Sedona).

from this photo cannot tell what sort cover collapsed. was it an A-frame, flat, somewhere in between. No specs provided. Not clear that snow caused collapse or was it wind before the snow?

It was not an A-frame, there was no bracing either, no triangles.
Collapse caused purely by the weight of the snow.

Last year they replaced an earlier structure (which had withstood several winters) with this one, I have no pictures of either.

jmaida4-Mar-23 11:54

It's was just a sun shade structure.
With no bracing not much snow is needed to cause problems. Looked it up ranges from 4 lbs per sq ft and up.
