It's been a while since I've wrote a blog post and my original post was a little controversial, so that can only mean it's time for another blog post!

I'm going to be discussing, or rather ranting, about the pressure to use a framework in all aspects of web. Obviously in something like ASP it's impossible to avoid the use of a framework as the .NET framework is a part of modern ASP. But I don't write ASP so I won't be talking about that, I'm talking about JavaScript and PHP.

When you go over to somewhere like /r/webdev and so you don't use a framework people go crazy. What! How could you not use a framework! It seems to have become an expectation of a web developer to make everything as easy as possible, if I ask people why they use frameworks they will say "It makes things so much easier" to which I reply "but web development is already incredibly easy!". I mean it's fine if you want to use a framework, for every person using them there is another developing them, but that doesn't mean you should expect everyone else to use one too. 

Every single day a new framework comes out and gets spammed on /r/webdev with the other thousands of them, there is just no room left for actual news anymore. It's not like /r/webdev is the only culprit either, most websites you can go on that aren't just a vs b have the same problem.

So there it is, another rant on frameworks. There is good on the horizon though! I've been writing a lot of C# recently and my greatest project yet is coming... Thanks for reading.
