I have gotten help from zed a number of times, as an early adopter of rails and mongrel. He's always been professional, extremely helpful and courteous.

I respect his contribution to rails (I am using at least 18 mongrels as we speak) and I hope the rails community will be better because of this incident.

Would you hire him?

I would. Its like Richard Branson says. You don't want to lead sheep. You want to herd cats.

I think its the job of the founder/leader to figure out how to make a team of superstars work together. We ended up changing direction a few times midway through our startup (which was acquired). If we didn't have a kickass team that could switch strategies like that overnight (we had the prototype of the newer idea ready in 1 day) we would've been dead in the water.
