By framework I mean the MVC crud (and I don’t mean crud as in MVC CRUD either), the stuff that other people spend ages writing that apparently speeds up your development process by a factor of infinity, but only until a) you want to write something that the framework doesn’t natively do, or b) you have a bug, and you can’t find it in your code and you suspect the framework, but hey why would the framework have a bug it’s being used by millions of people all over the world, surely?!, or c) well I can’t think of another reason but I’m sure there is one.
MVC frameworks are supposed to separate your logic, database, and purdy html code so that the poor developer(s) don’t get confused and start writing database queries inside html, or heaven forbid write anything where the framework designer said it shouldn’t be written. Godly delusions, that’s probably what leads people to write frameworks. Why would I want to use your 500,000 line framework when I can write my application in 500 lines, and make it a) work, and b) be quick, and c) scale it up without have to put the whole crudding framework on again and make sure I’ve got all of the 400+ dependancies installed and at the correct version?
Bah, just let me code.
