- Escape hatches are, in my opinion, an absolute necessity in any library or framework. It is near impossible to anticipate every possible use case, and providing escape hatches allows developers to work around a restriction and keep moving rather than getting stuck.
- If developers already have a skill but are forced to spend time learning a new way to do the same thing, frustration happens. Doubly so if there is no tangible benefit of doing it “the new way”, apart from maybe idiomaticism or purity.
- Frustration happens when the developer is unable to use their existing skills or feels disproportionally punished for doing it their way instead of your way.
- layered architecture
