The Road Ahead

The Road Ahead by Bill Gates (1995) It made me realize it's not companies I would like to be working at but people I would like to be working with.

for the 'road ahead', I guess it's interesting to read both versions (the original edition and the 'Completely revised and up-to-date' that actually takes into account the Internet)

Maybe not perfect matches, but a few titles I'm familiar with that you might like: Dreaming in Code - covers Mitch Kapor's post Lotus effort to build Chandler. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreaming_in_Code Everyone Else Must Fail - all about Larry Ellison and Oracle https://www.amazon.com/Everyone-Else-Must-Fail-Unvarnished/d...

Let me suggest "The Road Ahead" by Bill Gates. It was one of the first computer/software related books I ever read, and I think it is a classic in the field of software business kind of reads.

If anyone here might remember, in 90210, Steve Sanders' father gives this book to him as a graduation present. That in itself should be endorsement enough!
