I strongly disapprove of this thinking, it's simply a fallacy. There are constantly new problems created by technical advances, new tools and the evolving nature of everyday life and software.
Basic algorithmic solutions and libs like http in a specific language were "always there" and they're being redone forever. Things like controlling your light strip from your Switch are not, and there is always a need for such.

Specially from programmers: Why are we building new software (other than programming langs)? Anything we do, "somebody have done before" (I must have put this in quotes!).
