I know the article title is a bit, well, depressing... but I also hate to see people getting all filled up with great open source happy-talk, then have all of their hopes and dreams dashed at the first meeting with an old skool exec... some times it is better to heed the warning signs and proceed with caution-- might help get even better results in the long run...

thanks for the C.S. Lewis tip! I've also found getting caught up on Ayn Rand is thought provoking along these same lines... wrote a blog post about that a while back you might dig:
