You're right though, frameworks are for lazy people. Lazy people don't like to do a whole bunch of extra work to get something done every time they work on a project. So they use boilerplate code to finish shit fast so they can get back to being lazy.
Are you comin to SD next month or what bro? I <3 our programming-method-hating/packers-loving friendship
Haha, that's one perspective on it. Good, I'd counter with good coders don't like to look at half assed ideas when they can write their own solution. An API is not enough of a reason to have a whole third party "framework" devoted to it, as API's are generally very personal things regarding a code base that they are wrote for. It's really abstract layer apon abstract layer, and it's very annoying honestly. Be the shark, not the fish.
As for SD I haven't talked to my bosses about it, chances are there is enough code to be wrote that I can't, but like I mentioned to Uplinked today someone would probably get punched in the face in a heated drunken conversation. Not to say there won't be a meetup by us in the near future where we could all get together.
Erect is really a good guy, not the greatest coder ever, but the guy knows his shit. I will forever respect the guy for it. So while you guys are pussy footing about with your frameworks we are just going out there and putting the pedal to the metal and making cheddar. We do it without OO programming (discounting me typecasting an array to an object for faster coding) or frameworks.
So all those guys that think that these "frameworks" are making their life easier, I'd tell you to really look in the mirror. All the time, and bullshit spent learning this stuff vs writing code is not helping you. All these abstract layers are not helping you. I've known a few of you that want to talk like it is, but when push comes to shove and you have to throw down it's the exact opposite. Being a non OO programmer, and knowing my shit hasn't slowed me down one bit, in fact it's made me more successful because I approached every problem as I can solve it from the ground up and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
But please, coach me on the "natural progression of coding". If you buy in to that garbage all you will ever do is fall farther behind. Stick to the basics, learn your shit, put up with no shit, and you'll be successful beyond your wildest dreams. If you want to be stuck as a tadpole you will be, the sharks know where it's at and they make it happen. We know what's bullshit and what's not. While you dildos are sitting in your framework circle jerks we'll be out there making shit happen, oh wait isn't OO and frameworks suppose to make you code faster?
