具體描述
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.

評分 評分著名高科技（主要是互联网)企业创始人介绍在创业初期的情况。这恐怕是最真实的startups写照了，感觉和大众媒体强加于我们的印象大相径庭，但是感觉却更真实可信。 从Paul Graham作的序言中，我们也可以看得出作者独特的视角 “Apparently sprinters reach their highest speed...

周鴻禕作序，文章翻譯的不好。
评分每周讀一部分，吼吼
评分中文版翻譯的太差，還是看英文的吧。
评分大概讀完瞭。Joel Spolsky就是個話嘮。。。每一篇故事讀起來都不錯，文字平實，沒多少誇大的部分，雖然不像Facebook那篇短故事那樣精彩。
评分推薦給喜歡聽故事的童鞋
