  > How many of you deal with frameworks today that require you to know special magic? How many of you deal so with the framework that you wouldn't hire someone on [your] team if they didn't know the special magic already? This is so, so important. The most popular web languages all have popular frameworks that are magic on top of magic. Suddenly you can't hire a Ruby developer (or, god forbid, just a developer): you have to hire a Rails developer. Same with Django, Symfony, Laravel, etc. etc. > Magic is bad. THIS. A million upvotes. Magic. Is. Bad.
