I agree with this article and also appreciate the points made in the comments.

When I first started out in my career I used frameworks heavily. I knew there was a lot under the hood that I didnt understand yet. When I became comfortable enough with a variety of frameworks I took a step back and decided to learn how everything actually works. Was kind of a big eye opener for me.

I appreciate how frameworks can make things quick and easy to develop a project, but I personally like to look at what a framework has done well and use the individual components I actually need and create my own libraries. I dont like relying on things that might fade from existence sooner than later and prefer to use the language these frameworks are based on.
