On the Evolution of Source Code and Software Defects

探索現代最具影響力的商業領袖之一的起源 #1 紐約時報暢銷書“一本出奇坦誠的回憶錄，講述了微軟大亨早期的故事…讀這本書就像在看一幅熟悉的黑白素描，將細節填充並用鮮明的色彩渲染。” — GeekWire比爾·蓋茨的商業成就廣為人知：這位二十歲便從哈佛退學創立軟體公司，最終打造出一家行業巨頭，改變了世界的運作和人們的生活；這位身家數十億的億萬富翁，將目光轉向慈善事業，致力於應對氣候變遷、全球健康問題和美國教育的挑戰。然而，《源碼》並非關於微軟、蓋茨基金會或未來科技的書籍。它是比爾·蓋茨的個人故事，講述了他如何成為今天的自己：他的童年、早期的熱情與追求。這是關於他原則堅定的祖母和有抱負的父母，關於他最初的深厚友誼和最好的朋友突然去世的故事；他如何掙扎於融入群體，並發現了編程與電腦的世界，進入了一個嶄新的時代；以及在青少年時期，如何開始踏上這條將他從午夜的電腦中心逃亡到大學宿舍的道路，最終引發了一場改變世界的革命。比爾·蓋茨第一次親自講述這個故事：智慧、溫暖、真實，呈現了一幅迷人的美國人生畫像。#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The origin story of one of the most influential and transformative business leaders and philanthropists of the modern age“A surprisingly candid memoir of the Microsoft mogul’s early years…Reading this book feels like watching someone take a well-known black-and-white sketch, fill in the details, and paint it in vivid color.” —GeekWireThe business triumphs of Bill Gates are widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company that became an industry giant and changed th
