I think my job is to ship useful, secure and robust features to my company's customers. Dealing with technology is a consequence of that, not the end goal itself, which seems to be what's most wrong about this industry. Certainly tying together libraries (or writing your own framework) is a valid approach, it's just a lot more expensive to reach the same quality level. That's why usually you end up with half assed solutions or never ending projects.
