Break Apart Rails Monoliths

"But dear developer: the framework is a servant of the application, not vice versa. If you embed your application logic in the framework, your application will lose its soul."

When I was working with frameworks in the past it was always a temptation to allow the framework to dictate the application organization. The discipline to not do this required me to understand the framework and how to bend it to my will. I wonder if this is a problem that others run into and thus get "trapped" in the framework?

A useful reminder to step back and focus on an organizational approach to solving a business problem.
