The GitHub Load Balancer
I am increasingly bothered by the "not invented here" syndrome where instead of taking existing projects and enhancing them, in true open source fashion, people instead re-create from scratch.<p>It is then justified that their creation is needed because "no one else has these kinds of problems" but then they open source them as if lots of other people could benefit from it. Why open source something if it has an expected user base of 1?<p>Again, I am not surprised by this. They whole push of Github is not to create a community which works together on a single project in a collaborative, consensus based method, but rather lots of people doing their own thing and only occasionally sharing code. It is no wonder that they follow this meme internally.
