- swombat 17y agoWorth noting this comes from our very own davidw.
- davidw 17y agoAll the 37signals talk yesterday was too much, and I had to get that one out of my head. Truth be told, I really do like what they've done, and love Rails, but they seem to take themselves awfully seriously at times.
- chaosmachine 17y agoMan, these guys are really ripping off... oh.
- vog 17y agoIt reminds me of various Tom de Marco advices for project management, where he emphasizes that most of the time you don't need fancy tools. All in all, it's a great parody of 37signals.
- ez77 17y agoCould anyone explain what this is all about?
- mikek 17y agohttp://37signals.com/ http://37signals.com/
- lhorie 17y agohttp://73primenumbers.com/about.html http://73primenumbers.com/about.html "In case you didn't get it... This site is a parody of 37signals.com, who I actually respect and admire quite a bit. I especially love Ruby on Rails, and am grateful to them for releasing it."
- LargeWu 17y agoI realize it's a parody, I'm just struggling to figure out what its purpose is, or why it's funny.
- davidw 17y agoIn the hu-man societies, it is customary to utilize what that species calls "hu-mor". This "hu-mor" apparently causes pleasant sensations in their brains, specifically triggering the nucleus accumbens. We are still struggling to understand just what makes for "hu-mor", but it is clear that it is not identical for all of the hu-mans: what some find "entertaining", others do not. Yet another facet of this fascinating life form that needs further study.
- faramarz 17y agoDon't forget to charge from day one :P
- davidw 17y agoI kind of thought about including a link to some pencils and notebooks on Amazon, but I thought it would be a better parody without that.
- edw519 17y agoYou too can learn how to make money by writing about how to make money writing business books. If only this were a joke. (Thanks, davidw, you made my day!)
- revorad 17y agoNow if only he got you to do a video testimonial...
- lotharbot 17y agoIf you want "safe, secure, and backed up" you need some sort of auto-duplicating paper (common for lab notebooks) and somewhere to store it.
- mseebach 17y agoWhy "Trailer Park"? I suppose it's a pun on something?
- jfarmer 17y agoCampfire?
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoBasecamp? Backpack? Highrise?
- mseebach 17y agoObviously. I just don't.. hmm, "feel" the pun.
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoThat's pretty damn good, but http://74signals.com/ http://74signals.com/ is still my favorite (read the page title).
- paulsmith 17y agoI still prefer The 38th Signal: http://38thsignal.blogspot.com/2007/07/phone-tells-you-that-someone-has-called.html http://38thsignal.blogspot.com/2007/07/phone-tells-you-that-...

- funthree 17y ago“Trailer Park is addictively easy-to-use. It’s so simple even a fucking idiot could use it” -A fucking idiot
- TechStuff 17y agoSee also http://www.techstuff.ca/store/ http://www.techstuff.ca/store/ (my April Fool's joke from a few years ago).
- algorias 17y ago“Mr Watson — Come here — I want to see you” -Alexander Graham Bell
- cousin_it 17y agoNice parody on the whole "let's make a webapp to help people track their todo lists".
- jamwt 17y agoRelated: http://sqlonrails.org http://sqlonrails.org Full disclosure: I was part of the team (with mrshoe, chmullig) that put it together for 4/1/06.
