Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company.
Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover?
Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done.
But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businessesdo—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.

評分說實話,並不是很想讀這書,因為盡管評價很高,但是覺得學不到什麼東西 1. 看這本書能學到什麼? 對於這類書最大的問題,就是沒有太多“可學”的東西。畢竟,隻是彆人的故事,和自己有什麼關係呢? 因此,讀書的時候,帶著問題去想會好一些,比如:他們是怎麼想到産品的點子,...

評分我們齣版社已經拿到這本書的版權,目前翻譯工作已經結束,正在修改譯文中的錯誤。 如果,大傢有什麼想法及建議,歡迎大傢提齣,謝謝!
評分今天我看瞭第19章的內容,主要是講:一對夫婦創業的項目是“永不終止的遊戲”。 在創業的過程中,通過一些想法+將想法用於實踐中,發現遊戲中的圖片分享能力,比遊戲本身還要受到歡迎。它們放棄瞭遊戲項目,轉而全心全意去經營“Flickr”公司(圖片分享公司...

PG老婆寫的。
評分中文版翻譯的太差,還是看英文的吧。
評分我隻看瞭關於DHH的部分。好吧,其實是看瞭rails誕生的部分。
評分訪談很多很長,讀瞭快一個月纔讀完。還是有些收獲的,雖然他們的成功不能復製,至少獲得瞭不少教訓吧。
評分I recommend it.
