Sample Book Insights:
#1 The tech and investment world was different in the 1990s. It was a great time to be starting out in the tech industry, as there seemed to be no end to the promise of technology and the amount of wealth creation available to everyone involved.
#2 I was completely oblivious to the tech boom around me, as I had spent my time after graduating from Stanford University and Stanford Law School in Houston, Texas, clerking for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Silicon Valley.
#3 I had finally opened my eyes to what was happening around me, and I wanted to be a part of it. I had just been hired by LoudCloud, a startup that sought to turn computing power into a utility. As an engineer, you should be able to develop your custom application and then just plug it in to the compute utility.
#4 I interviewed with several members of the team, including cofounder Ben Horowitz. He was dressed in Oakland Raiders gear, which was completely in character. I now know that his attire was completely in character.
