>> even if it takes longer than the programming the conventional way, who cares, right?

Longer than writing code from scratch, with no templates or frameworks? Longer than testing and deploying manually?

Even eight years ago when I left full-stack development, nobody was building anything from scratch, without any templates.

Serious questions - are there still people who work at large companies who still build things the conventional way? Or even startups? I was berated a decade ago for building just a static site from scratch so curious to know if people are still out there doing this.
