As someone working on wrapping up my bachelor’s in software engineering… Yeah… Fuck frameworks.
Everything I’ve been taught thus far has been nice, neat, logical code that has been explained completely. How does memory get allocated for that string? What exactly is a memory stack? How do pointers work? It all just made sense.
Then I get to the last 10 classes of my degree, and as a prerequisite for the last 9 I got treated to “java frameworks”. The classwork essentially teaches me to explicitly ignore how the framework accomplishes the end result, and to instead focus on memorizing bullshit one-line commands that are specific to whatever jackass framework I’m working in.
I’ve spent like 3 weeks straight watching crash course after crash course, trying to find anyone that actually explains the fundamentals of frameworks. Best I could find was an explanation of MVC (model/view/control), but I still don’t see how all that bullshit is easier that writing your own code!!
