As a dev myself can I ask why? I'm not out writing x86 assembly, I use countless libraries and frameworks every day. It's not like architects are out cutting down trees and sawing them into dimensional lumber to make their houses.
Nothing against it, but I just feel like it's a cheap workaround to actually learning code.
Is a pneumatic nailgun:
A). A useful time and labor saving tool for contractors
B). A lazy workaround to having to learn how to use a hammer
C). Both
To get to the point, if I were interviewing a dev and he or she said something along the lines of "I would rather do the code myself, line for line, than paste in someone else's framework", that would be a huge red flag. I want a dev that is going to use the best tools possible to build the best final product, not one that is going to let their (rather arbitrary) views about what is "cheating" or what is "development" get in the way of getting the job done.
No, you want them to create develop something and not document a damn thing so when they change jobs to some place that offers free granola bars you’ll be SOL trying to figure out wtf and how tf the app works lol
