- d0 13y agoNot really. We want people to solve the problem, not invent something that needs maintenance. In some cases, from scratch is important, but for most it's not.
- coldtea 13y agoSounds like you don't want competent people to challenge the rest.
- d0 13y agoNo we don't want competent people showboating and pissing cash up the wall reinventing wheels that have a high maintenance cost because it's fun. We hire engineers. An analogy: would you hire the electrical engineer who knocks up an ASIC for every task or the one who designs in a COTS part for a predictable unit cost and manufacturing lead time?
