  framework design frameworks scalability friction Programming Architecture

  • Frameworks don't solve scalability problems, design solves scalability problems.
    I picked up a word from Joe a few years back and find myself using it a lot: "friction." When referring to framework and tooling, "friction" is a (subjective) measure of how much the tooling gets in your way when trying to solve a specific-case problem. I've come to evaluate frameworks based on two rough metrics: how far the framework goes in solving the general case problem out of the box and how little friction the framework creates when you have to solve the specific-case problem yourself. When a framework finds a balance between these two areas, we call it "well designed."
