You and I both worked on a site like that... @Juan Well, there are some instances where code efficiency is a secondary consideration because your bottleneck is not code.

I'm not saying don't use a framework but if you care about efficiency you should be building your own framework. By using a framework you’re trading performance/ for fast development.

I agree that you should write a test and make sure that not only your test passes but that other tests don't fail because of your changes. I wonder if it's possible to add a pre-commit hook to SVN that runs all the tests and looks for any failures in the output, stopping the commit if there are any failures. I remember when I worked at the dating site that one day one of the sysadmins, without telling anyone, changed our CVS configuration to do exactly that. It didn't go over very well. @Daniel: Well, this is more of a social or procedural issue then, isn’t it?

But as I trust my own tests it doesn't matter much whether the underlying framework is trustworthy or not...
