From the manifesto: "We don't hate frameworks, nor we will ever create campaigns against frameworks, but we perceive the misuse of frameworks as a lack of knowledge regarding technical debt and we acknowledge the availability of alternatives to frameworks...The purpose of this Manifesto is to have valuable conversations about the movement. We firmly believe that to be useful this manifesto should be modified during the time as a result of the conversations that our community will have."
What is absolutist here? To me, this seems like the most even-handed, least absolutist manifesto that I've ever seen.
- danjac 6y agoThen why even call it a "Manifesto"? Why the need for a "movement"? These imply a struggle against something that needs to be overthrown or toppled. If you want to start a sensible discussion about "using the right tool for the job" you don't need to write a "manifesto" - a simple blog article will suffice. Manifestos - even the ones written with the best intentions - lead too often to just another kind of dogmatism (looking at you, Agile).
