Slings and arrows of outrageous bikeshed

on Fri Mar 2, 2012

To commit or not to commit, that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous bikeshed,
or to take git against a sea of trolls
and by commiting close the issue: mark fixed.
No more, and by a commit to silence
The naysayers and the thousand doomsayers
That assure us we are ruining their love?

Beautiful.

I've heard rumours about a lord-of-the-ringish poem from Earl, that was posted in IRC waaay back. Is this it?

The prince of Drupalmark narrated this yesterday in #drupal-contribute.

Apparently from 12-14-2010, not even that long ago:

 

Three nodes for the Drupal dinos in their caves

Seven for the IRC lords in their halls of text

Nine for newbie devs, doomed to flail.

One for the leader Dries on his dark throne.

In the land of Drupal where the websites lie.

One site to rule them all

One site to find them.

One site to build them all

And in the darkness launch them.

In the land of Drupal, where the websites lie.
