Love this book. Reading this book's depiction of Jean-Louis Gassée was a major deflection point in my life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis_Gassée

Trying to emulate Gassée, my team and peers, knowing my true nature, thought I had gone insane.

I continued to read his opinions. http://www.mondaynote.com Agree or disagree, I appreciate his heterodoxy, challenging my own assumptions and views.

Guy Kawasaki, not so much.



Could you expand? You got me curious.

What characteristics from Gassée did you try to emulate in vain?

What do you dislike about Kawasaki?


Page 165, bullet point 11. Explaining would ruin Kawasaki's story.

Rereading just now, I'm amused that was the only Gassée lesson I remembered.

I like Kawasaki just fine. The followups I'd read didn't really land like Macintosh Way did. But I see now that he kept writing, all of which are rated highly. So I retract my judgement. YMMV.
