If you're reading Hacker News but haven't read iWoz, or at least had it on your reading list for a long time and plan to get to it soon, then you're reading the wrong website. You simply can't get any more "been there, done that" than Woz when it comes to technology and startups. Steve's life is an open book, and you won't find any bullet points of indispensable wisdom in it, but you'll come away with a lifetime of experiences to draw on for your own decision making, and hopefully a little bit better worldview. I thought I knew all there was to know about the Apple story, but knowing a list of facts isn't like experiencing things from the point of view who made it possible. Would that the world had more Steve Wozniaks in it.
