There's more than one way to skin a cat
Flavio P. February 17, 2015
During the development of a project we are facing different problems and seeking solutions, frequently we use frameworks which somehow meet that need; however: Is including frameworks or using third party’s libraries the best way to solve the problem? Is the tool or framework that we are using the best tool to solve the problem? How can we help to evaluate the tools? Should we choose to build our own place solution from adding unnecessary dependencies to the solution?
There's More Than One Way to Skin a Cat, raises the debate on these questions and encourage the developers to be more inquisitive, critical and analytical in regards to frameworks and tools in general. It encourages the community not to just follow the pack, but to assess cost - benefit, technical support, redundant or unnecessary dependencies that may generate performance issues, in the end an analysis to awareness of the tool and its competitors.
Due to the dynamism and variety of projects there is space for a correct range of possibilities, there is not a silver bullet or panacea; the best FRAMEWORK or the best tool will always depend on the nature of the project or problem.
