      6. Bad Blood. It’s still incredible to me that a company could get so far on smoke and mirrors. Doubly interesting when paired with “A Spy Among Friends”.https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Blood-Secrets-Silicon-Startup/dp/152473165X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1544474561&sr=8-2&keywords=bad+blood …

      BONUS BOOK: Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda is the best book I’ve read about product development since Soul of a New Machine. It is absolutely phenomenal. Truly incisive look at the inside of Apple at its peak under Steve Jobs. Absolutely mandatory for anyone in tech.pic.twitter.com/qKt34tGnUX

          It was an excellent book, but let’s not get carried away. I will say that it tells a great history of autocomplete and how Ken got our chubby little fingers to make sense out of even tinier keyboards. Also paints a very fair picture of the pressures Scott Forstall had to navigate

          I thought it was detailed in a way not many books are about the way a company (Apple in this case) develops products. There are a lot of crap business books full of generalities, so it’s refreshing in its embrace of specifics. (To me, at least.)

          0/ over the break, I've been reading about Apple's design process during the pre-Safari/pre-iPhone age, in this book by @kocienda. I'm about halfway but wanted to report a couple thoughts. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Selection-Inside-Apples-Process/dp/1250194466 …

          The first chapter of Creative Selection says so much about so many topics in so few words. Probably learned more about Apple, product reviews, role of trust/editing/judgment in software dev & a design driven culture than almost anything else I have ever read.
