I know. And I was referring to the benefits of using a framework or platform that you know well. Which is rather different, but will often overlap. The boring parts may be solved in boring frameworks, but if you don't know to find them, don't know their ins- and outs, don't know how to leverage it (or avoid parts) and so on, it just slows down. Learning a language is so much more than learning a new syntax - that's the trivial part. It's about learning where to find up-to-date information, what libs are good today, which ones no longer preferred but still highly popular for legacy reasons. Which boring stuff saves time and which will come and byte you. What "sharp knives" or "footguns" there are lying around. And what might speed you up today, but cripple you tomorrow.
