I post all my tools/libraries publicly on github. I would never have so much hubris as to post some "framework" I created for some site as "The Getify Framework" that everyone else should use. That's completely contrary to the message I'm trying to get out.
Ironically, the site I vaguely referred to in the post WAS actually fully open-sourced. But NOT so that people could look at that code and say "Ah, he's saying that I should always do that same thing with every site I build".
- arocks 13y agoI get the impression that you perceive building a "framework" as a self-aggrandising exercise created for the sole purpose of standardising software development into creating run-of-the-mill products. Such view would be too hard on the not-so-trivial amount of effort that goes into creating a framework that can be applied to a broad range of use-cases, far beyond what it was originally conceived for. In fact, the truth is that it is too easy in programming to skip the painstaking effort of reading and adapting to someone else's codebase. It is simply convenient to throw everything away and start from scratch embracing the (in)famous "Not Invented Here" syndrome.
