I feel like mainly this article is about building generic tools as you are developing your application. I think the word "framework" is used liberally - base classes and higher order functions are classified as tiny frameworks in the article.
In some cases I think it's a tricky call. I'm currently working on a "framework" and am worried about all the issues that you mention. The reason I'm still building a framework is that as far as I can tell there is really no existing framework for the task at hand, and we do need the economies of reusable code (consistency across deployments & avoidance of double work). I hope the organization is large enough to absorb this and keep it going down the road, and am aiming to make it open source in the hope that a community can form around it as well. Fingers crossed, I guess.
- ebiester 6y agoThere are all sorts of nuance that are not captured in a short post. In 2012, I built a micro front-end framework for front end because I wanted something closer to what turbolinks is today, and I am sure people have cursed my name in years since. (Of course, the alternatives were things like knockout and backbone, and I had issues with those and my use case.) So, to be fair, many of us have done it. The best case is that you can open source it and everyone can benefit from your work.
