If you aren't familiar with Rob at all, it's likely easy to not get the context or personality. This guy is as transformed as you will find someone who rode/rides the .net paths. His affinity for everything non-.net and the effort he puts into helping keep feedback loops going between platforms while focusing on surfacing the better patterns, overall, is pretty admirable. His religion seems software dev, not platforms. He might get acerbic to some, but it seems part and parcel to his personality. He's not content with friction, ceremony, and negatively reinforcing paradigms. The final output from this is most often quite beneficial. If for nothing else, I appreciate that he spends the time doing the things that I would do if I hadn't yet sold any of my start-ups. I'd only suggest, in this case, that one can be better off carrying awareness of the time wasted in suffering. You may well waste less time going forward with the lessons learned. You will waste less time and suffer less prospectively. Hopefully you haven't missed the last plane off the island... in Hawaii... where it's not so bad to be stuck...
