For those who don't know Dan personally, it might not be completely 
obvious that the job description he gives (team lead of 50 guys doing 
C#/VBScript @ Micro$loth) is precisely his idea of working hell.  In 
contrast, his current gig with Google that pays him to spend some of his 
time mentoring folks doing Linux/C/Wine is probably close to his ideal.
