On opinionation

Graham / / architecture of sorts

I’ve realised that when I read that a tool or framework is “opinionated”, I interpret that as meaning that I’m going to have to spend time on working out how to express my solution in its terms. I have enough trouble trying to work out how to express my solution in terms of my problem, so I’m probably going to avoid that tool or framework.
