- iTokio 9y agoBig Blues, about IBM/Microsoft is an interesting read.
- bluedino 9y agoAlmost Perfect, about WordPerfect’s rise and fall.
- Jugurtha 9y agoFor memo, I just created a file so the list could be augmented at: https://github.com/jhadjar/Notes/blob/master/creation_process_booklist.md https://github.com/jhadjar/Notes/blob/master/creation_proces... ----- Not sure it's exactly what you're looking for, but I really liked: - The Making of Prince of Persia - Jordan Mechner - Masters of Doom - David Kushner. - Founders at Work - Jessica Livingston (aggregate of stories) Pretty cool in different ways: - The first shows how the author documented a good chunk of the process (like solving the problem of the Prince's alter ego). - The second by the journalistic work the author went through and access he had. - The third by the context it gives on many things (for example, you get a glimpse on Palantir's current work by looking into Paypal's history and the work Max Levchin, CTO at the time, and his team did on fraud detection, or Hotmail's growth tactics).
