Actually, Closed Minded literally means "having a mind firmly unreceptive to new ideas or arguments" as opposed to "Not wanting to use a 3rd party library".
I worked for a boss who didn't want to use 3rd party libraries because he was unreceptive to new ideas or arguments. His main argument was "I don't want them because I don't know them". Very harmful for a dev team who wanted to work fast and efficiently but didn't want to reinvent a wheel. Actually, we HAD to reinvent a wheel because our boss didn't know any 3rd party library which could speed up our work (and we did).
Thanks for putting the last nail in the coffin of your own "counter-argument" and for proving my point.
You lost me in your screeching.
Dev is not a place for ranting - it's a place for calm discussion. People are entitled to their own opinions, so please be respectful.
