"I never wrote a book because I wanted to do a good deed. I just wanted to tell a good story." Two decades ago, I interviewed Tracy Kidder for a story about The Soul of a New Machine. For the latest @longformpodcast I got to do it again: https://t.co/5WO9ECL8rq

Currently reading The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder… 👀💾 originally published in 1981, it’s a compelling look into the personalities and pressures in computer engineering at Data General Corporation. Recommended if you liked the tv series “Halt and Catch Fire” https://t.co/0aay1wheDB
