Everything I've been taught thus far has been nice, neat, logical code that has been explained completely. How does memory get allocated for that string? What exactly is a memory stack? How do pointers work? It all just made sense.

Then I get to the last 10 classes of my degree, and as a prerequisite for the last 9 I got treated to "java frameworks". The classwork essentially teaches me to explicitly ignore how the framework accomplishes the end result, and to instead focus on memorizing bullshit one-line commands that are specific to whatever jackass framework I'm working in.

I've spent like 3 weeks straight watching crash course after crash course, trying to find anyone that actually explains the fundamentals of frameworks. Best I could find was an explanation of MVC (model/view/control), but I still don't see how all that bullshit is easier that writing your own code!!

Fuck frameworks.
