copied!<blockquote> <p>Back in my good old PHP coding days when coding still was fun and productive, I used to write my own frameworks for most things and just copy-pasted and adopted them from one project to the next. This approach paid out very well, resulting in fast development, no overhead at all and a framework which actually was mightier than most Java frameworks out there</p> </blockquote> <p>Forgive me for believing that not one second.</p> <blockquote> <p>but with only a few hundred lines of code in a single file plus some simple mod_rewrite rules. This certainly wasn't solving all problems of web development, but it was simple, fast and straight to the point.</p> </blockquote> <p>So basically you developed your own framework over the course of months or years, tailored to your own needs, and could work very fast with it because you knew it intimately.</p> <p>And yet you can't understand why others do the same and then try to turn the result into something useable by everyone?</p> <p>Where's this great framework you developed? If it's so powerful and easy to use, where are the dedicated communities, thousands of users and hundreds of sites developed with it?</p> <blockquote> <p>every project uses a different framework even within the same company (at least in my case)</p> </blockquote> <p>Well, that's your problem right there. Why would you throw away the expertise gained with each framework after each project?</p> <p>The idea is to choose one framework and stick with it over multiple projects so that you get proficient in it. You have to invest some time to learn the framework, and then it saves you time by allowing you to work on a higher level.</p>
