Within the past two to three decades at least, I saw much of the tech world grow (for better or worse), benefiting from NIH inclined innovation + OSS bazaar model; some random evolution examples coming to mind include minix vs linux, java vs golang, memcached vs redis, apache vs nginx vs traefik, lxc and docker ... not that the development of the latter was motivated by lacking capabilities of the former, boring tech more or less has been always available but it takes guts and perseverance to embark on a green implementation. We probably have to admit that most of us do have NIH, to some degree.
