Soul, Show Stopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and Masters of Doom are my three favorite "computer product development heroics" narratives and I think they all describe toxic workplaces by the standards of 2022 and employees who aren't monomaniacs. In their defense, a compelling book is going to select for drama, and depict it as dramatically as possible. And in the latter two books, people signed onto a new crazy-intense team knowingly and many of them made bank. I'dve happily done that at some points in time. I feel sorriest for the folks who were already Data General employees at the start of Soul.
