About 3. One of the coolest attitudes I saw was from someone (autistic, but that doesn't matter) who approached every problem as something to love, to cherish, to appreciate. Now I'm reading a book about the early days in Bell labs. I feel through the pages how much fun they had with finding issues, finding things to improve, finding out the future. I think there's so much to gain if you can find a positive approach to problems. Also in real life!
- tailspin2019 5y agoThat book sounds interesting! Could you share a link?
- lioeters 5y agoMaybe this one: The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Idea_Factory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Idea_Factory
- MrQuincle 5y agoYes, this one!
- tailspin2019 5y agoThanks!
- anchpop 5y agoProbably not the same book, but the guy who developed Hamming codes (his name was Hamming obviously) wrote a stupendous book that talks a lot about his time at Bell called The Art and Science of Doing Engineering
- tailspin2019 5y agoWell it looks like I've now got two "stupendous" books to read :-)
