Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.

I think that word modern is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

A lot of systems simply aren't modern. There's always that mentality of "well, it's been working for the last 12 years, let's not mess with it now", despite all the valid objections like "but it's running on Windows2000” or "it's a data breach waiting to happen"...

Is it though? I haven’t used a framework since probably 2007 that doesn’t do this. There are the smaller, more DIY frameworks out there but I’ve never used them professionally.
