Watching the things the ASP.NET team has accomplished inside such a politically poisoned organization as Microsoft over the last few years has been inspiring. I don't know how they managed to get things like "out of band" updates, open sourcing MVC, and so on accomplished in that environment. Makes me think there is hope for getting some similar changes through in my current "enterprise" environment.

Developing on the ASP.NET stack is nothing like it was in 2001, or even 2011. I used to loathe ASP.NET, but what MS has done has really emboldened the dev community to contribute some really great OSS solutions.
