Nice to read participate on hour experiences.
And I also understand your point very good.
I’m currently building a typescript framework for backends 😂.

Think the big difference is on the intention of building a framework.
If it is for your personal fun and learning curve, you are right. You might better use some mature framework for production stuff.

But if you really want to build a framework with the goal of “used by many others”, you probably must use your own framework.
Will you have bugs and issues? For sure!
But also, any other dev who is using your framework, will face the same issues.
If you don’t use it - why anybody else should use it?
And what happens if they facing issues?
They also need to get bugs and issues resolved.

If there are only people who rely on “use the mature one provided by other”, we wouldn’t have any good process at all.

Think the key is, to find other devs to help building the „own“ framework.
