May many follow in your footsteps. There is nothing more depressing than designing a page that looks gorgeous in Safari and Firefox, only to fire up IE and see a hideous monster staring back at you :/ Kudos to Daniel, and to Tim, for having the guts to make a stand.

I think I may get that DHH one, or maybe "I won't break the build". Really funny stuff, thanks for the laugh. @Tim,

That’s hilarious. I love a lot of those shirts. I think I may get that DHH one, or maybe “I won’t break the build”. Really funny stuff, thanks for the laugh.

We got sick of working with IE, and completely banned all IE users from our site. They all get dumped <a href="http://codesmack.com/ie.html" title="You can't use CodeSmack.com if you use Internet Explorer" rel="nofollow">to a special landing page</a> that doesn't let them inside our site. At <a href="http://codesmack.com/" title="T-Shirts for Programmer Smack Talk" rel="nofollow">CodeSmack</a>, we <a href="http://codesmack.com/blog/2007/05/16/ie-users-youre-fired/" title="IE Users - You're Fired!" rel="nofollow">fired our IE customers</a>, and never looked back. We even designed a <a href="http://codesmack.com/tshirts/ie" title="Seriously?!? You're Still Using IE?" rel="nofollow">t-shirt mocking IE users</a>. It's been among our most popular. For our demographic, it was a no-brainer decision: IE users weren't deserving of our shirts, just as they aren't deserving of your blog. :-) We recently created a site where we sell funny t-shirts for programmers.
