That exchange with Jeff Atwood makes me somewhat angry. It's one thing to be annoyed at a hardware vendor (justified or not), quite another to take it out on the users of said hardware. And while I appreciate that engineers can often afford to be blunter than people in other disciplines, I also think that a founder of two successful companies should have a bit more restraint when posting. Writing "fuck company X" (unless we're talking about a grossly unethical company, maybe) just seems like very immature behaviour to me.
