Is David Pollak trying to take on DHH for the title of most inflammatory framework creator? If so, well played.

  He certainly does well with agreeing (with himself) that his work is great. A great possibly purposely-obtuse example from the blog piece: > Testing, What does this mean? Does it mean Lift isn't well tested... I beg to differ. Lift powers sites like Foursquare and Novell Vibe. You can see the Lift tickets and find all the tickets opened by Novell and Foursquare... not a lot. Right. When people mention testing in a framework, they must be talking about testing the framework itself and not the framework's ability to help them test their own code. Sheesh, the ego.

    I think it's just precious that he does not even understand the question.

    On top of that, implying that "not a lot" of tickets must mean that every works hunky dory because you've got a couple of large-scale sites using it is rather naive.

  He loves what he made, sure. However, I don't see where he is saying anything particularly inflammatory, especially in comparison to DHH's f-u to enterprises. Further, this post lists specific counter-arguments that are backed with examples. If this is inflammatory, then I would like to see more "inflammatory" posts comparing frameworks that are like this.

    I would call made up statistics about the greatness of your framework (11x better!) hilariously inflammatory. In fact the humorous depth of the statements' detachment from reality kinda takes any real power to incite away from them.

    I don't see neither this rant nor DHH "f-u to enterprises" (a not very descriptive of the real thing term you coined) as inflammatory.
