I honestly like my adviser; he's a swell guy and very smart, but we have some very different ideas about things like free software (I'm passionate about it, he doesn't see the point), other people's licenses (he thinks that modifying other people's code is within the spirit of the law if you never release it, I'm paranoid), and how servers should be administered (I'm just not going to get into that one, it's too traumatic). He can be great to work with, but I've gotten so used to having arguments with advisers that I'm ready to leave academia for the real world.

That, and I could use the money.
