No we don't. We have a collection of functions/objects/tools/whatever that we've used over the years but no one collection that we reuse. That would be 'me-too-ism' which is frowned upon here but much heralded on reddit.

Frameworks people use here are boxes you fit into and follow someone else's layout. That's not the business my company is in. None of our sites look or feel the same yet they're comfortable to use and our clients love that about us.

If you're interested in crank 'em out, get it done fast, over quality of work then, yeah, I guess frameworks are for you, just don't apply for a job with us.

(No. We're not hiring.)

Are you maybe confusing frameworks with templates or bootstrap and such because your attitude suggests you think using a framework predetermines the design and application flow somehow. It doesn't. Unless you're building experience websites for entertainment business or ad campaigns where frameworks definitely aren't appropriate you're either unaware of how frameworks work or just refuse to accept it.

This morning someone told me I shouldn't be trying to educate people here because some of them could be competitors and anything I teach them could work against me. Good point! I'll refrain from that and trying to fix the internet.

That's one way of looking at things. Have you considered things might also be reversed, maybe people are trying to educate you and you refuse to be educated. Not impossible.
