Frameworks make the hard things easy and the easy things hard

• kristopolous 5y ago
  Or easy things hard, hard things impossible, and optional things mandatory. They solve one problem by giving you two new ones. Then they scold you for not following arbitrarily decided conventions. They corner you into using inferior janky solutions that do less with more and prohibit consolidation, abstraction or aggregation because ahem, that's their job to do, not yours. Instead You are supposed to be stupid and do things naively regardless of the fact that's how piles of garbage get made It's like relying on the worst engineers you've ever worked with and you aren't allowed to change their code. Awesome I use them all the time professionally because I feel like it's what I'm supposed to do but good lord almighty are they ever totally broken bullshit
