Why? Do you get more sales or market share if your engineers are sitting there working hard on inventing wheels that are one Google search away?
You're the manager. The engineers on your team have 20 or so tasks to do, rote, boring stuff, such as "serialize object X to JSON" and "send serialized stream to server Y". Would you rather your team 1. take a day or so to "work real hard" re-implementing JSON serialization, or 2. just copy/paste something already working, spend an hour or so adapting it to the project, then move on to the next task?
