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.

评分著名高科技(主要是互联网)企业创始人介绍在创业初期的情况。这恐怕是最真实的startups写照了,感觉和大众媒体强加于我们的印象大相径庭,但是感觉却更真实可信。 从Paul Graham作的序言中,我们也可以看得出作者独特的视角 “Apparently sprinters reach their highest speed...
评分夏吉敏译者、机工出版社: 您好! 你们的翻译水平是在考验读者的智商吗? 这样的译者和翻译质量会把你们的出版社的品牌砸烂了,有机会让你们的负责人好好看看豆瓣上读者的评论吧,也让译者看看这些评论,期待你们知耻而后勇! 读者
评分一个很深的感触是,有了想法就去实现。前言中也提到,这些成功者共同的品质,不在于智力超群,而是他们的坚韧不拔。 这些成功的创业者最初的想法可能和最后大获成功的产品相去甚远,中间也会遇到各种有挫折感的时候,但是他们会努力去做下去,努力去解决遇到的困难,终于取得...
评分神对你的试探, 总不会超过你能承受的范围。 神为你预备一切, 也必让你为一切做好预备。 这是我在读这本书的时候脑里划过的第一个念头。 这种念头在读 blogger的时候尤其强烈。 另外, 直到掩卷之际还萦绕在脑里的是Graham, 就Y combinator那创始人在把之前那公司卖给Yahoo!...

评分那些IT创业故事,他们是如何开始的,转折点是什么,如何拉到投资的,有什么经验教训。寄希望于从中学到点什么的人来说,其实人家刚开始干也是什么都不懂就开始了。最重要的,其实是开始干!找到合适的伙伴非常重要,否则你很难坚持到成功。
评分I recommend it.

评分大概读完了。Joel Spolsky就是个话唠。。。每一篇故事读起来都不错,文字平实,没多少夸大的部分,虽然不像Facebook那篇短故事那样精彩。
