Making good use of existing libraries is a good thing. Lacking basic skills obviously isn't, but I think the reality is that many 'professionals' do lack these skills. As to having a formal education - I did a year of Computer Science, and

'students' reliance on Java's libraries of pre-written code means they aren't developing the deep programming skills necessary to make them invaluable... they are not fully prepared to compete against what is now a global field of rigorousl

Interesting link, although the words 'News of the World' are a bit of a red flag. Also, the 'evidence' they mention could just as well be taken as support for suicide rather than a faked death.
