If you had invented Bootstrap, you would have invented Bootstrap. Assuming what you are saying is true, credit would have been nice though.

- ryanmolden 14y agoBecause history clearly shows that the rightful people always get credit. Ignoring things like Edison vs. Swan (invention of light bulb), or Marconi vs. Tesla (invention of radio), and likely hundreds of others cases that could be listed if I felt like typing that much. I know nothing about GP's post/claim, but dismissing claims offhand with some glib line from a movie is not really adding much enlightenment.
- iamumassthrower 14y agoThe point of the "glib line from a movie" is that there is a lot more that goes in to making something actually successful than just having come up with an initial idea and even an initial prototype. That's a great line as it encapsulates volumes into one catchy sentence, which apparently goes over the heads of some people.
- iamumassthrower 14y agop. s. and I personally like the design of foundation, especially since it doesn't look like twitter.
- perry5000 14y agoTaking someone else's work and presenting it as your own is okay now?
- runn1ng 14y agoWell, both works are open licensed (bootstrap and foundation), so legally there should be no problem (if Bootstrap credited the original code.... which it doesn't).
- jeswin 14y agoNope not okay. However: - How much of Bootstrap's is directly lifted from Foundation? Or was it mostly the idea? _Execution_ makes or breaks. Vision and ideas complement execution. - And Bootstrap's success isn't just because of the code alone. It was the packaging, and the selling.
- nhangen 14y agoAnd maybe the fact that it had Twitter's name behind it?
