Mostly a set of short advices from the best in tech.
Should open it with specific questions. 80% of the content can be skipped, but the rest 20% will probably give the answers you are looking for.

It’s a simple and quick read. The book is a compilation of quotes from interviews conducted by the Product Hunt team. I would treat this like a reference book of quotes rather than a typical non-fiction book.

This would be particularly helpful to University students wanting to get into tech either at an established company or start their own thing.

It didn't take me much time to finish reading this book. Since it appeared to be a collection of quotes with few examples and stories given, it was too dry for me to assimilate all the ideas while reading.

This book is good for a quick skim. I was able to pick up a few less common advices, but most advices in this book are common sense.

Although it's just a collection of quotes and thoughts from people who succeeded in the tech industry, I find it really helpful, because I'm a college student and... well, it is intended mostly for grads or college students. It gives you only a taste of what it's like to work in IT, but that's enough for someone eager and ready to dive into the field of information technology. I encourage everybody to give it a try, because it's worth reading it.

I've been a part of the product hunt community for a very long time, and I'm appalled by how much I've missed from this technology-focused community.
The ebook does a decent job at curating valuable information if you're interested in the tech industry from successful people already established within.
Mostly opinions and advice, no how-tos, brief and concise.
