Nobody brings in a framework out of hope that it will lead to them getting a job at said sponsors company. If they do they are very very misled. People choose a framework because they want to benefit from the R&D done at said company, and avoid sinking similar R&D costs into their product. I don't find happiness when my neighbors "cow dies" (I like that metaphor), but it does pay the bills, and that makes me happy. If people keep making the same mistakes, I will keep getting the same contracts in my inbox. p.s. try breaking up your wall of text in future posts, it makes your response really difficult to read.

I was kinda with you until you nitpicked his/her use of paragraphs. You sound like a Rock Star Programmer? Take the night off, go out, have some fun? You made you point. I don't like all these continually changing frameworks either, but I am not a good Programmer. I actually wish their was a site that voted for for the best frameworks, but instead of a popularity contest; the judges would be a mix of the best programmers. Programmers with no adgenda, other than giving their honest unbiased opinions. Maybe throw in students who are in the middle of learning how to program? Actually, some of the best advice, I have gotten, has been from students just learning to program. Specifically the students in Bootcamps. I use to follow this one guy in SF, and he saved me a lot of time in my journey.

>p.s. try breaking up your wall of text in future posts, it makes your response really difficult to read. I normally do. See my other reply in this thread below. I'll admit I was first set off by your seemingly condescending remark of 'simple people...'; I should know better. And not to get into too much of an OT style/usage thread, but the use of 'said' could be removed from your sentences as they are written. It is popular in legal writing as an abbreviation for 'aforesaid' or 'aforementioned', but also comes off as an affectation when used unnecessarily. My point about some people bringing in, or championing a framework for a freelance gig, is that sometimes it is done to get some paid time learning that framework for future jobs. I think is it is disingenuous to dismiss that factor. As a senior manager and director, I have seen people let their personal goals bias their decision making in all types of business. I still don't think the article was against using frameworks. I think it was about questioning or revisiting your reasons for choosing them.
