The trick with NIH syndrome is balancing, as with any other syndrom. Once you know about it, you can also detect situations where it's worthy rolling your own (GitHub's Resque is another successful example of that).

I agree that HIN is not always bad, Joel has good article about this: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000007.html

Is HIN a reinvention of NIH? :-)

It's Yoda's version of NIH.

when Forth programmers are not reuse code I believe it should be called HIN :)

Touche!
