Rewriting a whole app would be at least as big of an investment, in my opinion...

But not as useful for the resumes of the devs involved.

Did it occur to you that rewriting an internal app has no benefit to the community at large, whereas publishing a tool is a clear improvement on the community's tools?

Did it occur to you that instagram published a valuable and useful tool that now just exists, and this is now a non-issue for anyone else in their situation?

Like, why are you complaining about resume boasting?! It's like you want people to do useless work that has no positive effect on the open source community. Are you just upset people are using Python or what?
