It&#8217;s not my goal to rehash the debate, or even to discuss it in particular; instead, my goal is to share some thoughts I&#8217;ve had about software licensing, and in particular, licensing going forward as a result [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.brandonsavage.net/some-thoughts-on-software-licensing/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Revisiting: Why Every Developer Should Write Their Own Framework</title><link>http://www.brandonsavage.net/revisiting-why-every-developer-should-write-their-own-framework/</link> <comments>http://www.brandonsavage.net/revisiting-why-every-developer-should-write-their-own-framework/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 24 May 2010 11:00:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Brandon Savage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Object-Oriented Development]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Open Source]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Zend Framework]]></category> <category><![CDATA[development]]></category> <category><![CDATA[frameworks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NIH]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Zend]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.brandonsavage.net/?p=1305</guid> <description><![CDATA[In November of 2009, I wrote about why developers should write their own frameworks. I pointed out at the time that often developing a framework forces developers to make the kinds of architectural choices that frameworks require, which helps them better understand the architectural choices in the most popular frameworks.
