I call these frankenframeworks. The constant drive to DRY and reach the supposed nirvana of code being a DSL of pure business logic leads to more and more implementation details being shoved under the rug to deeper and deeper layers. But for some reason there’s no foresight that any non-trivial change requires changing more than just the business logic and so you have to resort to bolting on config options, weird hooks, mixins, “concerns”, and global state for no reason other than it’s all you can do to reach down the layers.
