| > Why are you so concerned with what others do? This is a discussion about whether or not to use frameworks isn't it? I'm argueing for using a framework rather than against, isn't that the whole point of a discussion? > IME there's this language/framework tribalism culture in software that's extremely poisonous; language/framework supporters go online and bash, spread fud, and denigrate other languages and frameworks. Not sure if you're saying this because you think I'm bashing/fudding people who don't use frameworks? I'm just argueing a point. > You haven't advocated any particular framework but maintain some sort of framework use is best position, which is odd. I think I've put my reasons for advocating frameworks over no frameworks pretty clearly? > Learning frameworks does take time, and when you're iterating a side project, with a mortgage, 3 kids, and spouse, time is the last thing you have. Is this you? Probably not! But that's the reality for some. If you have a spouse/kids/mortgage then IMO its even more important that you learn to use a mainstream framework for whatever language you are using because its the way the industry is heading. Spending time on a side project in that situation would be a very bad use of your time while learning a framework will benefit your career immensely. The reality of the tech industry is that you do need to spend some time to keep up to date with modern tech trends, whether or not thats good or bad is another discussion. |
