No, let's skip technical details and your opinion about frameworks as code sharing primitive and get back to your words. You literally claimed that while Wil made money "leaning heavily on some of the most well-designed frameworks in the industry", he said "frameworks are bullshit".

This isn't true: he said that people shouldn't use a specific way of sharing code in OS X, not that "frameworks are bullshit". He even said that "Apple's shared frameworks are very useful for sharing executable code and its associated resources among multiple applications". He also praises Cocoa, the framework, and many other frameworks created by Apple.

So, yes, you did misrepresent Wil's opinion, and you should take your words back.



Geez, you can read, can you? It's right there in the title and even in the actual URL:

"Frameworks are Teh Suck, Err".

Let's look at the urban dictionary:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teh%20suck

2nd entry:

"The absolute worst thing ever, completely beyond bad, lower than horrible, and more crappy than explosive diarrhoea"

So when I wrote "bullshit", my only crime was that I was being euphemistic. Guilty as charged. And as I wrote, he makes this farcical distinction between Apple and the rest of the world.

So, no, I did not misrepresent Wil's opinion, apart from softening it up. So you should take your words back.


So you can read, but for some bizarre reason are only limited to reading the title?

Because he went for an extended explanation what that meant, besides the funny/link-baity title -- which is exactly what the parent wrote.
