IMO, automatic DI frameworks were a big mistake. An idea that looks useful at the time, but actually leads to spaghetti mess code that is harder to maintain than it would be without any automatic DI.

I agree, though I'd say in the more general case that overly flexible DI frameworks are the broader problem.

Designers will put much more thought into how best to interact with a framework, so start with a small, opinionated interface then consider extension feature requests on a case by case basis
