Yeah, either that or "architecting something new looks better on my resume than using an existing solution."

The value of total control and flexibility sometimes has no price
Do you have "implemented a task scheduler" on your resume?
Personally I'd see it as a negative vs using an industry standard solution.

However, I'm sure some folks would be tempted to add something like "designed and implemented a distributed task scheduler and execution engine for generalized asynchronous jobs utilized by X number of devs across Y teams" to their resumes.

My question is on the line of do you think it's relevant enough so that it would deserve being added to a resume? Even if it's something you personally don't like.

Because I can't imagine why it would award that relevance. It's right there with "implemented function to reverse a list because the stdlib had a bug".
