There is a tendency, particularly in iOS developer communities, to eschew third-party dependencies. Developers fall victim to “Not Invented Here” syndrome and end up wasting valuable hours of development time tackling the same problems others have already solved for them. On our mobile team, we vehemently reject NIH syndrome and instead favor the philosophy of “Proudly Discovered Elsewhere” (a phrase we appropriated from another developer, naturally).

Good examples where we had space to do NIH: NAMapView, FBSnapshots & Expecta/Specta.
