Sounds like you don't want competent people to challenge the rest.

No we don't want competent people showboating and pissing cash up the wall reinventing wheels that have a high maintenance cost because it's fun.

We hire engineers.

An analogy: would you hire the electrical engineer who knocks up an ASIC for every task or the one who designs in a COTS part for a predictable unit cost and manufacturing lead time?
