I gained so many gems from this book and made me reflect on my own career in software.
It's made me reflect on questions such as
- why did my manager act that way?
- why are we lacking X resource?
- why am I motivated even though it's not in my best interest to be?
Computers are so much more than the sum of their parts. Although I've not been fortunate to work on a project like Eagle, I resonate heavily with the feeling expressed.
The book is an immensely well written, humorous and thoughtful account of the Data general company. I'll be re-reading it in years to come.
This book touches on an immense amount of themes in a short book.
Aging, misplaced desire, unfulfilled dreams and purpose
A real page turner, describing the ethics of entrepreneurship and how one lie can lead to another. A cautionary tale in someways of an obviously talented individual marred by an obsession with an ungrounded vision.
The book builds a world you really can step into. The tongue and cheek humour and religion vs science threads woven through it make for a cracking read.
