"Quits Job" is really misleading. Steve didn't work for Cisco or Apple. He was the technical side of a 2-man team which became the doll of AlphaLab and earned the respect (and money) of one of Pittsburgh's most admired angels.
Most of HN will see the net win for Hackety Hack, and that's fair enough, but I'm sorry he won't be on the front lines of CloudFab's campaign to disrupt rapid prototyping. I loved the wild-eyed way he talked about upending the industry, and he and cofounder Nick Pinkston formed exactly the mad-scientist-meets-cunning-business-guy pair you could see pulling it off. So while I know this move had to happen and I support his decision, I also think another (admittedly very different) cause will suffer for its loss of an important contributor/activist.
