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.

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

"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?
