Should I use a framework or libraries?

Should I use a framework or libraries?

In the software development world, trends come and go, and often we go through the same cycle again and again. It seems 2024 is the year of “Framework vs Libraries” debate. I mean this debate is not new, but it is getting louder again. For example, most of the Go community prefers to use libraries instead of a framework. The Java community is divided into two groups, one prefers to use Spring Boot or Quarkus or Micronaut, and the other prefers to use libraries.

Fortunately, I have been working in the companies that value work-life balance, and I never had to work beyond 8 hours in the recent past. However, I have been working on writing blogs, making videos, etc.

I used the Go language for an official project a couple of years ago, and initially I had mixed feelings about it. But the more I use it, the more I like it. I wanted to expand my skill set and decided to get more hands-on experience with Go.
