>and has a community of people working to make those components even better for YOUR USE CASE.
How did the latter point derive from the former?
Frameworks come with prepackaged components and it's usually their way or the highway.
A framework might very well have a "community of people working to make those components even better" (period), but surely not "a community of people working to make those components even better for [MY] USE CASE".
If anything, a component's community try to make them as generic and all-encompassing as possible.
Contrast with libs, where I can cherry pick and use the one closest to my exact use cases.
>I guess I won't be hiring you then.
People use those kind of "arguments" a lot, as if they prove anything.
Depending on what those who say it are arguing against, it could both be a wise decision or the sign of an totally inept boss.
There are people who don't like frameworks that can code circles around people who do (and vice versa). If you don't want to hire the former, it's totally fine. Telling strangers who haven't applied to you, and have no intention to do so (and might be making hiring decisions themselves, elsewhere) that you won't hire them shows you in bad light -- trying to beat them into line not with arguments but with "boss" power.
"I wouldn't hire you" is the quintessential Hacker News put down and I see it all the time. It's effectively saying "I disagree with you, and I want to make you feel bad by pretending I'm in a position of power over you."
Hilarious, and if a Hacker News bingo exists, it should be the free space.
