Status Updates From Source Code: My Beginnings

i feel like i shouldn't have picked this up, this is boring. i dont really want to know what his early life is like

This is about how Bill gates got started.

This man is such a genius. Since childhood. A product of his environment, social exposure, and upbringing

J'aime bien pour l'instant

I’m only about 10% in, but it feels like it might end up in the DNF folder. This is the most boring biography I’ve read so far.

Pleasant book to read and my first impression is the amazement to which Bill Gates' parents and his mother in particular raised him to be successful. I was pleasantly surprised to already be 40% on the book without realizing it.

kent’s death is so sad! didn’t know i’d be listening to that today, but i did end up crying lmaoooo

i’m listening to this as an audiobook, and he only narrated the intro :(

so far, his mom sounds so fucking cool and is a kappa kappa gamma :)

Début de la lecture

Prefacing this by saying I’m only reading this for my grad school assignment lol

Start of Ch 9

So Good!!!

This is so fascinating. And it makes me wonder how much hard work goes into success. Also, the thought that you could succeed. Believe it or not it made me cry in the end.

Enjoying Bill Gates' early life autobiography. It's cool that my wife and I just stayed in Bremerton outside Seattle last month and did some hiking in the Olympic National Forest, which is exactly what Gates did with his friends. While hiking for miles without talking, young Bill worked out in his head, at age 13, how to code in BASIC. Fascinating story so far.

DNF

Il y a 400 pages sans les remerciements ,pas 336...

I’m listening to the audiobook edition. Gates himself reads the introduction and I wish he had read the whole book. The guy who reads the book sounds like a computer and puts emphasis and stress in what seems like the wrong places. I would much rather hear Gates read the book

Интересно е, че при него е присъщо същото умение за хиперофокусиране, което съм че чел, че е характерно и за други мегауспешни хора като Мъск, например. До такава степен да се потопиш в това, което правиш (даденият пример е с четене), че околният свят да се превърне в незабележим фонов шум.

انقدر امتیازهای ناعدلانه زندگیش زیاد بوده که خودشم میدونه تلاش برای انکارشون مذبوحانه‌ست پس به جاش با جزئیات داره دربارشون حرف میزنه!

Автобиографията на Бил Гейтс започва с ученическите му години - момче, което обича четенето, математиката, това да бъде в собствената си глава и независимостта си, и знае че светът може да бъде разбран. 10 от 10 засега.

Bored but learned something? lol

I didn’t expect this book to have humor.

He had an unusual combination of normal childhood and well beyond normal access to social resources that very few children have.

Chapter 2
