Framework
Base structure for software development
It's a pre-built structure that gives you tools and rules to develop applications faster. Like IKEA: it gives you the pieces and manual, you just assemble. You don't invent the chair from scratch.
How to explain framework when asked for 'an app like Instagram'?
Say: 'Using a framework is like buying a house with blueprints vs. building from foundations. React (framework) gives us the basic structure, we add the specific features. You save months of development.'
Real examples
Client wants to add a 'simple' feature
“Instead of: 'Our framework doesn't support it.' Better: 'Our framework (React) is optimized for fast interfaces. That feature requires a different framework or customization.'”
Discussing why migrate to another framework
“Instead of: 'It's more modern.' Better: 'The new framework (Next.js) includes tools for SEO and speed that in the current one we have to build manually. It's like moving from a prefab house to one with better finishes.'”
Explaining developer onboarding times
“Instead of: 'They need to learn our stack.' Better: 'Our framework is React. A developer who already knows it takes days to be productive vs. weeks learning from scratch.'”
