In my experience, this isn't remotely true, especially if you're constrained to use a particular language and don't want to pay the overhead of wrapping another language
Even purely in code, you always (EDIT: usually) have the choice of implementing a solution yourself or finding the work of someone else, packaged into a library, which solves the problem for you.
Implementing the solution yourself may be the most satisfying way to scratch that instantaneous creative itch. But does it create the end result which you can be most proud of or satisfied with?
