book review: founders at work

Founders at work: Stories of startups’ early days from J. Livingston is a collection of interviews the author did with founders of different tech companies.

It covers a lot of ground, from Apple to present companies like 37signals.
What made them successfull and what struggles did they have? This is the main concept behind every interview.

It also appears that there hasn’t been a lot of editing by either the author or the publisher because the answers sometimes look like they came straight from the tape-recorder. Which is cool, it gives the book a very authentic feeling. Also, it’s fun to read that some of these people actually come out and say they are not that business smart. Makes you wonder :).

This book was an entertaining read for a couple of evenings, but nothing more.

    On occasion I try and do some special stuff. For instance I do usability tests on websites. Or you can take a look at some of the famous interviews I've done.

  • Stefson in a nutshell (long)

    Stefson.com has grown out of my previous site www.mmopiglet.com (which no longer exists), that was mainly about my time in mmo games. Ever since I stopped playing mmo’s, due to personal reasons (read: time), I missed blogging so much, that the decision to start over from scratch on a new domain was easily made. So here we are.

    I blog mostly about web2.0, technology, book reviews, Wordpress themes and plugins, tools for web savvys, usability, websites, gaming.
