The issues raised in this article are why I think highly-opinionated frameworks will lead to higher developer productivity when using AI assisted coding

You may not like all the opinions of the framework, but the LLM knows them and you don’t need to write up any guidelines for it.

Yep. I ran an experiment this morning building the same app in Go, Rust, Bun, Ruby (Rails), Elixir (Phoenix), and C# (ASP whatever). Rails was a done deal almost right away. Bun took a lot of guidance, but I liked the result. The rest was a lot more work with so-so results — even Phoenix, surprisingly.

I liked the Rust solution a lot, but it had 200+ dependencies vs Bun’s 5 and Rails’ 20ish (iirc). Rust feels like it inherited the NPM “pull in a thousand dependencies per problem” philosophy, which is a real shame.
