What's he going to do when he comes across a problem where these is no library that solves it?

  It seems pretty obvious that he'd write the code himself in that case because it's actually a good use of his time. Are we pretending like the only options are "Never use code that's not invented here" and "Be totally reliant on other people to write your code for you"?

    If only this wasn't a topic and tendency covered extensively over the past 50 years.

    I've noticed a creeping mindset for some people that if they don't write their own code, they can't understand what's going on. I would rather have a developer well versed in reading and understanding code than one who has to write the bible by scratch.
