đź“š Book Review: Brotopia by Emily Chang đź‘Ž
Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley
Promised titillating details about the sex lives of the rich and famous in SF, but quickly moves to stories about the PC, Internet, the careers of various women and founders, etc. All of which has been told before and better. The big insight is that the “Bro” culture has to be corrected early on in a company’s founding and during periods of high growth. Instead, I recommend Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change by Ellen Pao. And if you are interested in the history of tech read The Innovators or Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson).
