Why Do You Use Frameworks?
Nicole Sullivan asked. People said:
- ?… for the same reason that I buy ingredients rather than growing/raising all of my own food.
- ? I write too many bugs without them.
- ? Avoiding bikeshedding.
- ? … to solve problems that are adjacent to, but distinct from, the problem I’m trying to solve at hand.
- ? Because to create the same functionality would require a much larger team
- ? I want to be able to focus on building the product rather than the tools.
- ? it’s easier to pick a framework and point to docs than teach and document your own solution.
- ? faster development
- ? They have typically solved the problems and in a better way than my first version or even fifth version will be.
There are tons more replies. Jeremy notes “exactly zero mention end users.” I said: Sometimes I just wanna be told what to do.
Nicole stubbed out the responses:

If you can’t get enough of the answers here, Rachel asked the same thing a few days later, this time scoped to CSS frameworks.
