I don't believe it. Having something else do the work for you is not learning, no matter how much you tell yourself it is.

If you've seen further it's only because you've stood on the shoulders of giants.

Having other people do work for you is how people get to focus on things they actually care about.

Do you use a compiler you didn't write yourself? If so can you really say you've ever learned anything about computers?

It is easy to not believe if you only apply an incredibly narrow world view.

Open your eyes, and you might become a believer.
