My favorite line here was "I said fuckit".<p>I guess it's not quite as reflective as that girlfriend thing, but I strongly suspect that everyone who actually succeeds in releasing working software to the world has an "I said fuckit" moment.<p>I care less about the PHP/Rails thing, which is probably what got everyone riled up.  To be, this could have been about tech A and tech B.  I just like hearing that people who have succeeded in writing software that others use eventually feel this way, cause man do I ever sometimes.
