I read this a few years ago and to be honest it speaks volumes to me as only a partially technical guy in Infurious. I empathise a lot with the author and there are bits in there which chilled me to the bone when I remember the genesis of Mac-Sys, the first “death” of Infurious and the struggles I had with people at the time. Of course, with Mac-Sys I was the technical lead as well as the handsome and charismatic leader whereas in Infurious I’m very much the appendix.
Almost Perfect, the story of WordPerfect
I recommend this to anyone who’s even considering starting a software business. Some of the lessons may be dated as it’s focussed very much on the retail space rather than the internet space.
