Words from the guy who was responsible for the Google SOAP API

Nelson Minar doesn't work for Google anymore and bears no ill will that Google yanked the SOAP API that he was responsible for. If fact, he has a pretty negative view of SOAP, its interoperability problems and brittleness.
But I particularly liked the last sentence of his post, "Just do something that works". It ties in nicely with my last post, Solving The Problem in a Very Good (Not Perfect) Way.
