What's the value of a developer then, if his/hers only job is to cobble together frameworks and snippets?

The value of a developer is managing complexity and solving business needs. If that can be done with a framework and stackoverflow, then what's the problem? The one off occasion where something doesn't go right? That's why you have the one "goes deep" person on the team that you throw that issue to.
Maybe the value lies in knowing which frameworks to combine with which snippets and in what way?
