That sounds like it comes from some specific experience you had... but it's pretty uncalled for to apply it so confidently to someone you don't know. Don't be mean, right?

Actually, another view is that there's nothing wrong with tinkering and DIY. Perl, JS, Redis all came from people hacking their own solutions (as far as I know).

Also, many big software orgs build extensive internal tools themselves.

Plus, making your own stuff is a lot of fun. You should try it sometime (if you haven't already) :)
