What people on Hacker News said
This book is from 1989, but it's a timeless and fascinating look at the minds of Bill Gates, Andy Hertzfeld (apple/mac), Dan Bricklin (visicalc), and 16 others.
"Programmers At Work" by Susan Lammers was a great read in its time, and I keep referring to ideas from it.
