I thought the article would be a conversation about the value of frameworks versus libraries, opinionated versus generalized. Which is an interesting conversation and worth having. I was very disappointed.

Instead I saw someone proudly bragging about reinventing the wheel and NIH syndrome. Which is mind-boggling.

See other comments here about NIH. To attribute my post to NIH mindset is laughable. You obviously didn't read it fully.

I use all kinds of public OSS'd libraries and tools. I just don't use frameworks that prescribe an exact way those should be glued together, nor do I stick my own opinions about how the glue should work out "there" to try and convince others they should do it exactly like I do.
