      <p>Whilst writing <a href="/daily/2024/06/07/not-invented-here">yesterday's email</a> about "not invented here", I started thinking about how Drupal's timeline (which was created 23 years ago) compares to some of the other similar or related projects.</p>

      <p>Here's a list of project release dates from ChatGPT, which seem correct to me at a glance:</p>

      <ul>
      <li>Drupal: January 15, 2001.</li>
      <li>Git: April 7, 2005.</li>
      <li>Symfony 1: October 22, 2005.</li>
      <li>GitHub and Bitbucket: 2008.</li>
      <li>GitLab: October 2011.</li>
      <li>Laravel: June 9, 2011.</li>
      <li>Drupal 7: January 5, 2011.</li>
      <li>Symfony 2: July 28, 2011.</li>
      <li>Composer: March 1, 2012.</li>
      <li>Drupal 8: November 19, 2015.</li>
      </ul>

      <p>Looking at this list, when speaking about "not invented here", a lot of what Drupal would come to use and depend on just didn't exist in its early years.</p>
