> Inevitably. Which means you'll have to resort to "real programming" (as opposed to component assembly) for /that part/ of your project.
It's not just that you'll run into one unique requirement; you might run into a unique combination of requirements, each of which already has proven solutions, but with no good way to glue it all together. That's the reason C programmers still sometimes write their own string handling or memory allocation code despite that stuff being literally in the standard library.
Writing general purpose software components is hard. If you're creating a product, you know what kind of component you need, and you don't really care about anyone else. If you're making a general purpose component, you have almost literally no possible way of even comprehending, much less fulfilling, all the requirements of every product that could potentially use your component.
You're always going to notice a difference between something that's been cobbled together out of spare parts and something that's been designed to fit an integral product vision. There's a reason we've been hearing about reusing program components for literally decades. I'm sure some chunk of the problem will be broken off and solved, some kind of standard solution to the CRUD app or something, but there are still going to be products out there that need real engineering, not just component assembly.
