| I'm not sure if these books really are what you're looking for, because each of them is a mix of engineering history, and the description of how a group of people end up doing amazing things.
In each of the books, there were nuggets of wisdom that I've tried to bring along with me in my job (as best I can).
Like: - Doing things as simply as possible to start off - Keeping iteration time to a minimum, for maximum exploration of ideas - Being willing to think outside the box My takeaways above, hardly do these books justice, but they are as follows: - Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed [0] - Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution. [1] - The Dream Machine: J.C.R. Licklider and the Revolution That Made Computing Personal [2] [0]: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/101438.Skunk_Works [1]: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56829.Hackers [2]: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/722412.The_Dream_Machine |
