Summary
Explaining why he builds the Podcaster Wallet UI himself, Dave contrasts declarative frameworks like React, where you describe the screen and the framework makes it, with imperative code that specifies every parameter. Declarative is great up to a point. A control freak like him may prefer coding every piece, though in the end he doesn't much care.
