I feel like a good web framework with an orm - makes sense. Am I wrong here?
Only if you have to read the code, something that makes increasingly less sense as it seems like our job is increasingly putting more rails and tests, and reviewing code is just economically unfeasible, especially for 99.99% of projects out there.
No and having strong opinions codified into patterns that an agent can utilize is exactly what we need today so, no not wrong and in fact, more needed than ever.
