内容简介
······
Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company.
Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover?
Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done.
But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businessesdo—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.

有些书还真是不能读的太早，比如这本。当年读了，觉不过尔尔。现在重温，看到别人的创业故事，包括各种犯的错误，自己规规矩矩的很多都经历了，才感觉不过。推荐此书，不过你可能要在一个创业公司工作过再读。
PG老婆写的。
大概读完了。Joel Spolsky就是个话唠。。。每一篇故事读起来都不错，文字平实，没多少夸大的部分，虽然不像Facebook那篇短故事那样精彩。
周鸿祎作序，文章翻译的不好。
