    Dylan Beattie's parody of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' with lyrics made entirely of real software framework names, ending in the chorus about building yet another framework.

    Shared as a funny programming joke poking at the endless proliferation of web frameworks.

      Man, those Dylan Beattie's videos are out of this world!! I laughed way too hard on a number of them - You give REST a bad name - [LINK] We're Gonna Build a Framework - this video Enterprise Waterfall - [LINK]

    2. @ashelmireJan 2018· in “Show HN: Sapper.js – towards a better web app framework”

      "This framework is 95% ideal, let's build another framework for my personal 5%." This attitude is why we have a hundred different relevant frameworks right now. How about instead of a building a new framework, you contribute to an existing one? You even say that Next is close to what you want... why not help to make it better?

      If you're aiming for the eternal, a message board full of computer geeks may not be the best place to find it. Lagniappe: this video
