1. Denial – “Surely that’s not how their API works!”
2. Anger – “WTF are they thinking? Why would anyone do that?”
3. Bargaining – “Hey, would you be willing to change your API? I can make a pull request…”
4. Depression – “This API sucks. I don’t want to work on it anymore.”
5. Acceptance – “I guess there’s no other choice. Is soap4r still active?”
