Brett Glass's statement of rebuttal here is an amusing addition to the story and worth reading (even if you probably won't be on his side).

- vinceguidry 13y agoAfter re-reading both accounts, it's clear to me that Brett misunderstood Poul-Henning's argument. Poul-Henning said to "just build the damn bikeshed, I don't care what color it is," whereas Brett said, "Poul-Henning's assertion that all such ideas should be dismissed as "bikeshedding" reflects this dismissive attitude" I read Poul-Henning's argument, which did not say that ideas should be dismissed, but rather 'just built', as attempting to contribute to a constructive spirit, and Glass's argument as defending the broken management process.
