> Having watched a coworker spend a solid week getting our company's ircd setup (and this was our VP of Engineering, mind you),

Was he writing custom patches for it, re-implementing SSL, custom services.

I think you wanted to tell us about how hard setting up irc could be but ended up telling us something about your VP of Engineering.

Setting up anything for IRC - be it a bouncer, a bot, an ircd - requires just one thing:

Being able to read, comprehend and some patience.

If all that fails, you just hop on IRC and ask the devs in the projects channel....
