This is why I think I use frameworks...

Because I'm a lazy bastard. Only in a few personal projects I've built things from scratch (backend), And I did that because I was really interested on building those systems the best way I could and because that specific feature was really the core of my project and the one I thought it should not depend on third party software.

When you have deadlines and you are going to forget everything about that project after 12 months. It does not really matter how you build it and how much effort you spent on it. You just need to finish it.

Only when you are your own client you are critical enough to build things from scratch.

I like this reply, as it focuses on where frameworks shine: short term, quick project based work for a client to a deadline.

But then I remember this tweet...
