We have a similar saying in Denmark, something like "shoemakers kids always have holes in their shoes" but in this case it's more about that the people in the profession don't prioritize their own craft. I've seen this with electricians where whole house is done but electrical sockets aren't installed but for IT I think it's more about distrust towards developers (takes one to know one)
