Yes I have done that most of the time. I have thought a bit about this and feel that it should be true for most of us for software industry to scale. If you are in a solid tech company this will always be the case. Anything which can be used generally will be made into a framework and then most engineers will be expected to use that. This helps the company immensely as it can now hire top 1-2% who are extremely good at making these frameworks or guard-rails and the rest can be lesser quality devs who will do the plumbing. An example: writing multi-threaded programs and reasoning about them is hard so why not make a framework which takes care that developers only write business logic and integrate with various APIs. This is now true in most companies now as Open source projects are doing the same thing. Look at Apache Spark for example which makes writing distributed programs for Machine Learning, ETL and Analytics much easier for developers.
