the.com/framework
The scaffolding you mistake for the building until the deadline removes it.
means A basic supporting structure of ideas, rules, or components on which something more complex is built or organized.
from A plain English compound, joined sometime around the 1500s: 'frame' plus 'work.' 'Frame' traces back to Old English 'framian,' meaning to be helpful or make progress, kin to 'from' and the idea of moving forward or shaping into form. By the time it married 'work,' it named the literal timber skeleton of a building — the bones beneath the walls — before the word drifted, as words do, from carpentry into the abstract scaffolding of thought.
