Great question, I will come back to see what ideas people have. Thanks for the Turing book suggestion too.
I have read lots of non-fiction books about programmers and engineers that have been very inspiring, they're just not technical: "Masters of Doom", "Blood, Sweat, and Pixels", "Coders at Work", "The Idea Factory", "The Soul of a New Machine", "Dealers of Lightning"...
- aristofun 4y agoThanks for non technical books
- is_true 4y agoI read Masters of Doom and I really like it, I don't know why but after a couple of pages I wanna rush to the computer and write some code. Sometimes Silicon Valley (tv) generates the same reaction on me.
- markus_zhang 4y agoI'm on the same boat. Although I probably won't write games professionally, considering the golden time of game development was long gone, Romero and Carmack's early stories inspire me a lot. I especially love the early story of ID, before Romero left. That was probably one if the greatest teams a technical person can be.
- is_true 4y agoThere are plenty of "cool" things to do today, and every few months as technology evolves a new number of "cool" things become doable. The golden age of technology is gonna be always one step ahead
