Books: Founders at Work
I just finished reading Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days. I've been nibbling away at it over the last five months or so. It's now one of my favorite books. If you work at a startup or are thinking of starting a startup, this book is a must read!
I like to interview, so when I'm looking for a new job, I tend to interview a lot. The last time I was looking for a job, I felt like this book was my personal guidebook to Silicon Valley (which loosely includes San Francisco). So many of the people and companies I was interviewing for were in the book. I felt like I was getting the inside scoop. Even when they weren't in the book, the book gave me insights on what a good startup looks like.
Now that I've finished building Free or Best Offer, it's time for me to look for my next startup. I wonder where the book will lead me next. Although they aren't mentioned explicitly in the book, I'm currently leaning toward Metaweb.
