Startupland
\"Startupland is the story of Zendesk, founded in the kitchen of a Copenhagen loft, and now a 500-person company with customers in 140 countries and one of the hottest companies in Silicon Valley. Zendesk provides customer service software to major clients. Much like Zendesk's mission itself--to remove the friction, the barriers and the mystery in order to make software easier and more approachable--this book removes some of the myths about startups and startup founders. Instead of making things murky and complicated, this book inspires and empowers you to follow your own dream and create your own story. This book makes you want to go out and do something--not just because there's an opportunity in the market, or a path to make money, but because you want to build something that you believe in, are determined to design your own destiny, and understand that what you do matters.While there are books by consultants who tell you how to build businesses, or entrepreneurs now running billion dollar businesses, there are few books from people still in the trenches who acutely remember what it was like. Startupland is indispensable reading for all entrepreneurs who want to make their ideas the next big thing\"--

The lads in Detroit were not over the moon about this, and they put out a glorious press release, pointing out that if they had really developed technology like Microsoft, things such as the following would have resulted: for no reason, one's car would crash twice a day.

Pride in our profession: together we make it work
[...] YOU make the difference! I travel the country and have the distinct pleasure of working with career and technical education (CTE) teachers, critical support staff members, and administrators every day in my capacity as a CTE enrollment and retention expert. [...] when he went on to Ohio University, he needed to do career exploration for his first several years at $2,200 per month. Up to that day, Nick was sporting an impressive 1.5 grade point average, had missed the maximum number of school days of his first two years of high school, and turned in homework as frequently as Halley's Comet passes within eyeshot of our planet.
