Oh someone took the time to write down what I tell people since ages in a very nice way to read and understand:

TL;DR: Frameworks come with huge tradeoffs, choose them wisely and if possible avoid them. They build stuff in a very generic way and may develop into a direction that doesn't fit your project at all. Try to stay vanilla, prefer libraries over Frameworks and learn how to code the language, not the framework.

#ShowerThoughts the (re-)decentralized net is in a similar place to where the internet itself once was. Before TCP/IP emerged as the universally accepted standard, there were a bunch of competing internets, using different protocol sets. A bit like XMPP, Diaspora, Zot, Matrix, ActivityPub, SSB, IPFS, SOLID etc. We don't yet know if the universal glue will be one of these, or something else entirely. It's worth keeping an open mind and learning about the pros and cons of all of them.

In wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, an unjust murder by people hungry with power I just want to remind everyone this isnt the exception in the USA, it is the norm.
Each year we have dozens of innocent or non-violent criminals murdered by police with plenty of evidence and the police almost always get off with little or no punishment, certainly arent treated as the murderers they are.
