> The latter ones invent their own ecosystem. And are very productive with it. It's fast and beautiful. And you know every screw and bolt. There is a feature request? No problem, you know immediately how to solve it. I know many of them. And nearly all of them are the best I have ever known.
You're forgetting type C that don't know anything about existing frameworks so decide to reinvent the wheel by writing an unmaintainable mess of spaghetti code... I'm guessing type Bs are very rare. Once you've seen enough untestable jQuery soup you'll learn to appreciate frameworks.
- wccrawford 11y agoI would go so far as to say that to a new programmer on the team, Type B and Type C programmers' code looks much the same. I'm a type B. I've written entire systems from scratch that fit me like a glove. I could fix any problem in no time flat, and it was very stable. But when it came time to have other people work on it, it didn't fit them like a glove. It barely made any sense to them at all. They eventually got up to speed, but they were never as productive in it as they would have been in a decent framework-based system. I was actually quite happy when they decided to rewrite the whole thing... And then it turned out I left about a year later, so it was a good thing they did.
