I know a guy who built a single-page web app for a blog. Really. It takes a few seconds to load the post titles, it'll make your computer grind to a halt if you have more than two tabs of it open, it took months to write, and it doesn't do anything you couldn't do with plain HTML and some AJAX request handlers... but Brawndo has electrolytes! I bet it looks pretty good on his resume.

I know a guy that made a model ship in his spare time. It doesn't carry any passengers or cargo, doesn't meet even the most basic safety standards, and frankly doesn't do anything you couldn't do with a canoe. I bet it looks pretty good on his mantelpiece. There comes a point where you have to ask yourself - does it matter that he built (what I assume is a personal) blog in framework du jour, simply he just wanted to?

  Not a personal blog -- this was a paid job to replace an old platform that a community was using but could no longer maintain.

    Oh gawd, if he was paid market rate it's a pretty questionable decision... At least he didn't write his own css preprocessor or something, I guess!
