When people say things like "Don't reinvent the wheel" and "Never implement your own crypto", it's generally understood that they mean "unless you have a really good reason for doing so and the budget and expertise to do it right." We don't actually say those things, because we don't want to turn casual conversations into legal documents; instead we trust in the readers' common sense.

But any time any of these sorts of projects come up, the posts are not "what need are you trying to fulfill?", they're just yelling, "don't reinvent the wheel!" That's what I'm talking about, this culture of "I, having spent 5 minutes skimming your README, know better than you."
