Obviously, not a very good one. 
I know .net hides a lot of the mechanics, but if you don't know the basics you are not a very good web developer.

and would you know it if you were?
If someone is truly going "crazy", do they know they are about to fly over the cuckoo's nest or are they oblivious to it all?
I only ask because I have a friend who...

Do not fly over the nest on the tree across the road. I crashed into to it yesterday and it fell down.

I think the objective reasoning to question whether your actions are crazy or not is the first thing that goes. Once your cheese slides off the cracker that you no longer worry about such things.
You just pass your days throwing roasted peanuts at passing cars while the lime jello seeps out of your socks. All the while convinced that the actions you're taking are the only way things should be.

I put forth to you the following for your consideration:
Those who rule the world will have their say as to what is and is not crazy.
The world is, by and large, seriously f***d up!
Ergo,
By being crazy I needn't accept any blame.
sorry it took so long to post. My keyboard and I had a drooling fight.

I apologize for making a serious answer, but ... it depends ...
On the one hand, if you knew you were going crazy wouldn't you want to fix it? So we can assume a large fraction of the crazy people are in denial about their problem.
On the other hand, most people start seeing shrinks/popping pills voluntarily instead of being dragged to the doc, so they're able to recognize that something isn't right and seek help.
And on the gripping hand, I talked to a friend who's manic depressive about this sort of thing before. She says that for several days after going off meds due to some snafu she is able to tell when something is the crazy talking not reality, and can shut down reacting to anything for several days she's unable to tell where a signal is coming from.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you are going crazy you'd probably recognize that something is wrong. If you are crazy you likely would not realize it. It may also depend on which actual diagnosis of "crazy" is involved. Keep in mind, I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV.

I think it depends on how one gauges "crazy". If you have no frame of reference (knowing people you think are crazy), then you can't possibly know if you're crazy. Of course, this is kind of a schrodinger's cat kinda thing. If you don't observe yourself, are you in fact crazy? Based on what I've seen, people generally need to be considered crazy by someone else before they can refute the possibility or simply go with it and enjoy their insanity. And the the elves showed up. They didn't bother me at first, but after a while I couldn't hear anything but them - their liitle screechy voices pressing on my brain and I had to let the noise out but I couldn't find a way so I drilled a hole in my forehead and put a bathtub spigot in the hole and now I can let the voices out a little at a time and believe it or not the spigot doesn't affect my aim in the least but I find that I've developed a nervous twicth and can;'t find my ammo but its right beside me anr g;pouertfgff[]

Anyone ever work for a company that was doing fine, then decided to take on a project that is not only silly, but they have decided to go about it in a horrible fashion? Did anyone pack their bags over this?
It's not just this reason, but a few others that I don't think I will stay in this company much longer (brushed off resume). I hope to get out soon so I can share the silliness of this project with you guys.

Been there and done that. Once upon a time I worked for a custom software shop. They decided that instead of building the next version of the customer's software, that they should build software that would in turn build the next version. That went as poorly for everyone involved as you might imagine. I should have bailed out but instead I stayed with the plane until it hit the mountain.
As I get older I find my biggest regret about past jobs is that I didn't leave them sooner.

I went through this at the end in my last job. It was as much the culture as the work we were doing that made me move. What had been an innovative and leading edge company had become stagnated interested more in tying down customers than delivering a quality product.
So, I moved and have to start again.

I was at my last job 3 years, tried to transfer internally before finally leaving, the project I was on was dying.
I've been at this job for about a year now, the problems started when the manager that hired me left the company in May. Anyways, a lot of it is the culture, too. It is a bigoted, racist, sexist, homophobic culture than never progressed out of the '80's. I'm not a very PC person, but the ignorance is getting to even me. I need to go back to a software shop, not a financial brokerage.

I will provide an example:
Last week I was in the kitchen microwaving some Indian food. Lentils in a garlicky tomato sauce. Old guy standing in the kitchen goes: "Man it smells good in here, what are you cooking?"
Me: "Indian food."
Him: "Oh, it must be my food then."
I just stared at him to see if he was joking, he pulled his bowl of plain pasta noodles and butter out of the other microwave and left. I had to go for a walk.
