If you're reading Hacker News but haven't read iWoz, or at least had it on your reading list for a long time and plan to get to it soon, then you're reading the wrong website. You simply can't get any more "been there, done that" than Woz when it comes to technology and startups. Steve's life is an open book, and you won't find any bullet points of indispensable wisdom in it, but you'll come away with a lifetime of experiences to draw on for your own decision making, and hopefully a little bit better worldview. I thought I knew all there was to know about the Apple story, but knowing a list of facts isn't like experiencing things from the point of view who made it possible. Would that the world had more Steve Wozniaks in it.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoAwesome excerpt on Woz from Jessica Livington's book: http://www.foundersatwork.com/steve-wozniak.html http://www.foundersatwork.com/steve-wozniak.html
- kemo 15y agoI'm currently reading Founders at Work. Highly recommend it to anyone here!
- ekianjo 15y agoI haven't read that book but it seems, from what I have read online, that it contains a lot of bragging from Woz, and not enough details about the challenges he faced in the early days. Plus the title itself is misleading. Wozniak had no direct link to the Apple in iPod/iPhone/iPad era.

- drieddust 15y agoOnce technology issue is resolved engineer should humbly deny his contribution and let others take or share the credit?? On a serious note I have seen couple of interviews but to me Woz never appeared to be bragging. He simply likes explaining technology.
