Yeah, it's like navigating a sea of choices...

- Balancing costs & benefits with metaframeworks is an art.
- They offer flexibility – use what suits your needs.
- Exploring ways to make code more portable is definitely a worthwhile journey.
- And yes, rewriting might be fun, but maybe not the most practical route.

I think the takeaways for me are:

- There's costs and benefits to frameworks
- There's costs and benefits to metaframeworks
    - Btw, you don't have to use all metafw features
- There's ways to build things that make code more portable, they're worth looking into
- Try not to rewrite your app, even though it's fun

Totally get your perspective! Metaframeworks do bring a lot to the table in terms of developer experience. It's a trade-off game, and finding the sweet spot between adaptability and convenience can be tricky.

Agreed there's a cost to frameworks, but it's also a little sus to me to code like you might need to replace your framework later on. It doesn't happen enough to spend _too_ much time thinking about it.

Metaframeworks are worth the cost IMO. I don't wanna go back to webpack configs and RYO deploy scripts.

As always, it depends.

I love using minimal frameworks and decoupled libraries but end-to-end solutions can help you iterate quickly and focus on the product and not the tech.

The Rails documentary makes some good points on this.

i agree! thanks for fetching this video! i really love these documentaries by Honeypot. have watched their previous documentaries on Graphql, React & Vue. their channel is like Netflix for developers.. truly a work of Art! not going to miss this one! 😬

absolutely! the dance between necessity and consequence in the realm of frameworks mirrors the constant evolution of technology. embracing the creative tension, as you wisely pointed out, is key to navigating the intricate path of software development.. ✌️

Damned if you do. 
Damned if you don’t. 

Nice essay! 👏🙏🏻 
internalising these creative tensions I feel is so important to make calculated and conscious calls as we go.

Rad choice! Headless UI components give you crazy flexibility, and Shoelace is like the secret sauce. Haven't tried Shoelace yet but since you mentioned it, I might just try it out of FOMO.. 😅

I've been more and more interested in headless UI components and really like the idea of the flexibility of web component based components. I hadn't heard of Shoelace before and now thoroughly intend to use it.
Thanks for sharing the article!
