Engineers are continually told throughout their career to not reinvent the wheel. Frameworks allow engineers to concentrate on domain specific logic and not worry about writing boilerplate code. But have you ever wondered why there are so many to choose from? Many of these frameworks have huge variances in design choices, patterns they enforce developers adhere to, and wildly dogmatic followers… Until a new one comes along and people justify yet another framework rewrite in the name of superior technology.

This talk will journey into the sometimes taboo subject of creating your own framework. Embracing a home grown framework can have its merits under the right circumstances and is worth exploring. This talk places an emphasis on valuing the process and understanding how it can bring out the best in a team with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds.
