> Using LLMs to bootstrap development in unfamiliar frameworks is a valuable approach when balanced with pragmatic engineering principles. While framework idioms are important, they're secondary to delivering working, maintainable software that solves real problems.

Except that using the original approach would make it hard to navigate the project after a few weeks of development - duplicate logic all over, inconsistency in duplicates, bugs. Rewriting the code to actually use the framework as intended let me progress much faster and reuse the code.

And as someone who has had gigs with 6 different languages/stacks at this point, and played with probably as much on the side - that's a nice sentiment in theory but doesn't reproduce in practice. There's definite learning curve when using a new stack/language - sure your experience makes that curve different to a newbie, but in my experience it's going to be a few months until you can move as quickly as you can with a stack you're familiar with.
