These made me laugh:
Quote: It’s so weird that Americans say “eggplant” when they’re called chickens.
I went to a French restaurant the other day. Awful. Not only did they have Fish Poison; on the menu, they couldn’t even spell poison right.

Sometimes it seems I feel like I'm talking with someone who seems to understand the words I'm saying in that they recognize the spoken sounds or written words, but ascribe different meanings to the words spoken or written. It's really frustrating when you think there is agreement when it's the exact opposite.
argh...

Sooo, what I'm hearing is, "I speak imprecisely and expect others to just know what I mean".

Yes sometimes that occurs. But more often than not, a person's life experience allows them to hear the words you are saying but understand them from entirely different context or even agenda. Hence it can seem like you are communicating, when in reality you are not. Other times, you end up violently agreeing.

 That's what I understood too. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That is so funny. I had no idea who you were referring to but it fits Ryan so well that I had to say it, just for a joke!

When you know that no one understands you just as much you never understand anyone else, you will know you do not understand that, either.
In that state, there is a very small chance wisdom may begin.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

I've been looking for an implementation of Kademlia in C# (not, it's not a disease) and found this, which actually looks pretty good. It seems they have implemented all the concepts.
The only problem is that their implementation is entangled with RavenDB, and the fact that they are using a DHT for an audio player, UDP transport layer (that's fine, but not for testing, where you want to completely spoof the transport layer), and other annoyances (like, who the heck uses log4net anymore???) and WCF bindings 
Why? Why can't people write a nice coherent, independent, library with proper inversion of control, interfaces, etc., that completely decouples the DHT from the specific application. 
Now I have to go through the code and extract all this shyte, which I think is still more efficient that rewriting/debugging everything from scratch.
What's particularly disappointing is that code seems well written and documented, I would have expected better from the people that wrote this, given the quality of their stuff. The dichotomy makes me think they borrowed some stuff from somewhere else. Or, given that it's written by two people, maybe their architectural skills were orthogonal. 
Example:
Log4Net is used almost everywhere. But then...
Console.WriteLine("Storing resource from peer " + peer);

It's not perfection, it's good coding practice!

I agree. It also depends the skills and on the goal of the developers in question. Sometimes you just want to "get the job done" and not worry about extensibility and overridability, etc. Being overly concerned with that can lead to over architecting.

I've been there - all too often it's "get this thing out the door" instead of taking the time to architect it. Then they wonder why it takes so long to implement changes.

I would not be surprised if the code was refactored to use log4net and they forgot some old console writes.
As for the other stuff, I feel your pain.
