I don't know. There is some truth to this, but it's the same kind of argument I've heard from Rails people, EmberJS people, maven people, and many others; it's the famous "you're holding it wrong" argument. Sometimes you really are the best judge of what you need, and when the system works against you because for whatever reason the designer of the original system thought your problem is not an actual problem, you have to resort to weird monkeypatches or weird workarounds. I would be fine with the "this problem has been solved" argument if we could all agree about objectively right solutions, and in some cases we can (e.g. you don't want to handroll your own crypto), but more often we just don't.
