reviewed Source Code by Bill Gates

Bill Gates: Source Code (2025, Penguin Books, Limited)

Early Days

Enjoyed this. Doesn't go very far into Gates' life but it gave him more space to focus on his childhood and early days.

His obsession and drive coupled with serendipity and like minded friends combined to form one of the most recognisable companies of recent times.

Lots of people will say it's all luck. Gates probably wouldn't disagree. But if his story here is true, he would likely have succeeded at whatever he'd done.

An interesting read, but possibly not much to take away or talk about.
