Tools, Frameworks & Details #

All the things that are built, crafted, manufactured inside a category have a common overlapping base because all the products solve a a general problem inside a category. 

By looking at all the hammers on the market, you can easily identify which is the starting point for all the hammers, yet there plenty of choices from which to choose because each hammer focuses on different types of details.

You can always try to build a hammer from the ground up by changing the structure, the position of the elements, the materials but you will always be missing the amount of time spent by the hammer manufacturer on nailing out the details for the specific case it was designed.

Once a design has stood the test of time, there is not much to gain by attempting to reinvent it again and again at the start of each project just because you have the knowledge and expertise to build it.

There is only so much time and energy you can spend focusing on the details that really matter in your project and the more you focus on them the better the result will be. So in order to have the most time possible to focus on our details we have to make use of the tools and frameworks at our disposal.

By examining the tools and frameworks at our disposal and choosing wisely which ones will serve our interests the best we buy ourselves time to focus on the details that matters the most to us and the customers we serve.
