Good read with strong sarcasm.
I see many people are against your approach to pass the bitter truth but your message was clear.

As a teacher and a group's moderator, i see many beginners struggle with frameworks.

95% of the times, its because they haven't learnt the basics of a language or the stack (html, css, js, http, database mgt et al) needed to build stuffs.

So they can't really tell if its a framework or a language problem.

I don't really pity them. If you want to become an engineer, there are steps to take.
Skip....and you'll pay the price someday. The benefits of knowing what happens behind the scenes outweighs the cost of not knowing.

Good stuff
