There is a post from 2005 by Benji Smith in the old (and now closed) Joel on Software Discussion Group. It is titled "Why I Hate Frameworks". But I know it as "the hammer factory" post. It is just brilliant, even 13 years later. I am reproducing it here for posterity in case the old Joel on Software Discussion Group ever disappears. This post Hammer Factories first appeared on Dan Stroot's Blog
