Every programmer prefers to work with their own code. This is the biggest dilemma, it boils down to a lot of "make/buy" decisions. Rule of thumb after 20+ years of experience : do not reinvent frameworks. The framework you are thinking of already exists, and, even when not perfect, solves a lot of problems you hadn't even thought of.

- phist_mcgee 4y agoThen you exist as a very skilled and rare software developer. Or what's more likely is that your lens of software development and software maintenance is quite different to the majority of web developers.
- nuancebydefault 4y agoThink about it, are you the one that maintains said code? If so, can you really call that maintainable (as in, reusable, expandable by others while you are on vacation)? If not, you are a very skilled framework maker. Then other people are using your framework and hence, not reinventing the wheel, which is my point.
