Yes, and in addition, this is a good way to choose projects. We need to "reinvent the wheel"" a lot more rather than just building on top of frameworks that we have inherited from the past. The more work we do at the lower layers of our stacks, the better the quality of our software will be, in terms of its usefulness. There's so many coders around now that there's not enough work at the top of our stacks anymore
