A bit confusing in terms of the author is jumping from time to time to different topics. A few chapters start with introducing another person but I didn't saw that necessity to understand the book or the character of Elon. All in all it's good to hear, the speaker has a nice voice and it seems to be a good overview over what Elon did and why.

The typical late Karl May story. You can clearly spot the good and the bad guys. The good guys are very unlucky at the start and the bad guys have several possibilities to become good guys but of cause, they don't. It's a nice story with different storylines.

The second time I read this book. The most important thing I learned again was that code doesn't have to suck. It can be clear and readable and it is totally in the hand of every developer whether he/she want's to create good or bad code. Having a pushy manager is no excuse at all.

It was entertaining read. The author spent the right amount of time to describe the current "normal" situation and the right amount to describe the dystopian situation getting worse and worse but the transition from one to the other happened fairly quickly. The author could have spent some more pages (30-50) describing the transition in more detail.

It's great stuff, Jeff is talking about but the style of writing is much more important to me. Jeff is also extraordinary here because he "eats is own dog food", he speaks about story telling while using stories. :-) Thats great. In the second part of the book, the story telling went in the background a little bit but it comes back closer to the end of the book. I also like his humor, on how he is interacting with the reader. It could be a bit more from time to time.

It's highly recommended if you need to visualize a part of a product or a whole product.

Interesting way of thinking. I struggled with the way of reading first. Once I got used to reading as the new manager first and immediately after this, as the superior it was very interesting. I will try that in my company soon.

I heard the audio book and I liked it. The speaker is Simon Sinek ( the author himself). In general I think it is a good idea to start with why but the book is too thick to share this more or less simple idea. Half the pages /time would have been enough. There is a good Ted Talk (www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action) from Simon which pretty much sums up the idea of the book.

Awesome book. Many insights especially regarding his minimalistic style and the focus on a specific product.

Awesome book.

The mixture between Science and Fiction was very helpful although the scientific part was hard to understand for a non-native speaker.
