What is good for developers is bad for the industry. How else would they justify creating frameworks in different languages if all people are doing anyway is writing text to (F)CGI stdout? It is much better for the companies/groups involved to make people believe that there is something wrong with this and that they should really be using a "proper" framework.
- woah 10y agoWho do you think is making money off open source frameworks?
- coliveira 10y agoThe whole cottage industry of software engineers, authors, and consultants who implement these solutions.
- pjmlp 10y agoConsultants that wrote those frameworks in first place and offer their services for help, or go to conferences giving talks about them.
- seanp2k2 10y agoYep, in many cases the frameworks arise from patterns someone solved while working for BigCo, then decided that the pattern they used was cool enough to share with and be useful for others. Open source is hugely thankless and tons of work, but it can be very rewarding in ways you can't buy, including meeting with interesting / awesome people.
