I feel like the deeper I get into my craft as a software engineer the less I use frameworks.

Now it’s more about applying certain principles, such as CA and preferring simplicity over dependencies.

I’ve tried some web frameworks and found them easy to get started with but they carry so much bloat and unnecessary cruft.

It’s way easier for me to consider my code responsibilities and build simple software that is easy to test, painless to maintain, and finally simple enough for anyone new (or a newbie) to pick up with what they know, without having to learn the nuances of the framework.

With that said I’ll say my favorite popular framework is phoenix. I was studying elixir five years ago and used phoenix to build a few simple apps. Great community and documentation.
