<i>Twitter Bootstrap was made by @mdo and @fat for internal use at Twitter and released it because they thought it’d be useful for rapid prototyping of web elements or UI components (correct me if I’m wrong)</i><p>You can't beat people over the head for not going after aesthetic design one second, turn about face and then admit its utility for 'rapid prototyping' the next. If a team develops a product that isn't dependent on having a website that should be put in a gallery of beautiful designs, ready to be shipped to market, why would they bother waiting around for a designer?<p>Fucking ship it already.
