具体描述
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.

读后感
比起那本《coders at work》，这本《founders at works》要好看很多，而且后者还是先出的呢。这是一个访谈录，作者对那些知名的IT创业者的采访记录。据说作者她还嫁给了其中的一个访谈对象Paul Graham，也就是《hacker and painter》一书的作者（几个月前才看了该书的中文版）...
评分还没有来得及看，所以，评价是瞎评价，原谅下 我想说的是，别人很多的事情，你一定程度上可以借鉴，但是他那套你是学不来的。因为你不是他，他也不是你。不是说要打击什么人，事情就是如此。 一个人生长的背景，教育的背景，思考的方式，意愿和理想，做事的态度，能力的高低...
评分说实话，并不是很想读这书，因为尽管评价很高，但是觉得学不到什么东西 1. 看这本书能学到什么？ 对于这类书最大的问题，就是没有太多“可学”的东西。毕竟，只是别人的故事，和自己有什么关系呢？ 因此，读书的时候，带着问题去想会好一些，比如：他们是怎么想到产品的点子，...
评分看过dominicbasulto在 Endless Innovation 中的评论： "Book with the most stickies"後，对此书的兴趣极高。 可以从Google中查到那篇小文。 很希望看到书中所述早期开拓时代的人们工作状态~ 在追求结果的社会浮躁心态下，需要有这样揭示开拓者工作的书籍，来为年轻的将来社会...

评分因缘.
评分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。
