Using a framework is not always bad

Links, Web Development

Using a framework is not always bad, outsourcing your understanding of the basic languages of front-end development to one is definitely bad.

Great article on CSS support, making everything look the same everywhere, and more. This line, though, stood out to me. It’s an argument I frequently find myself in. Everyone knows that I hate Bootstrap. The why is what they don’t often understand. That line sums it up.

All too often I see “JavaScript” developers that cannot write a single line of vanilla JavaScript. Front-end developers that struggle outside of Bootstrap. That don’t know what the browser is capable of without Angular.

Have you outsourced your understanding of the basic languages to a framework?
