"Founders was about inspiration. From what you show, Coders is not." For you, sure. I find both inspiring (in different ways). The point was it depends on the person. I would be bored stiff listening to yet another business guy talk about how he made his billions. I like programmers stories about their successes, failures, learning and insights. As someone else said , "different strokes". "I don't think I could sit through a whole book of bitter guys " If you think Don Knuth, Peter Norvig, Simon Peyton Jones and Jamie Zawinski (randomly picked from the book's interviewees) are "bitter guys complaining" (!), based on one sentence in a small set of excerpts(!!), this book is certainly not for you! I like Founders at Work. I like Coders at Work. They are both great books.
