Hit Refresh: The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft's Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone
Satya Nadella · ★★★☆☆ · 289 pages · 2017
This books sort of gives the Why of Satya’s quest to shape one himself and two how that affected his view on what a Microsoft should be and his current changes to enable it to grow again. It reads like a rally to the troops really instead of Balmer’s developers, developers, developers it is more a thought through piece by Satya on what Microsoft is now, what it wants to be and where it sees the industry going.
I’m not an employee but Lo and behold I made VSCode my main editor moving away from Emacs, I started using Office and OneNote, considered Azure. I think they still have a while to go and it is a multi year project but I think they will succeed as this book sort of gives the employees a clear Why.
But as a non employee. Some of the stuff just wasn’t that relevant to me.
