为什么值得读
- 详述早期谷歌对被竞争对手绞杀的生存焦虑
- 解释了公司初期快速采纳新战略的底层逻辑
- 提供了第59号员工视角的内部职场观察
将Google比作普通企业，就像把火箭比作Edsel汽车。作为Google的第59号员工，Edwards首次带来了关于该公司的内部视角，让读者得以完整体验这家非凡企业内部同袍之谊与激烈竞争的奇妙交融。作为Google首位市场与品牌管理总监，Edwards如实记录了一切。我们得以目睹年轻且极具个性的联合创始人Larry Page与Sergey Brin迈出的最初探索步伐；了解公司闻名遐迩的非层级化扁平架构的演进历程（每位员工都能在其中自主寻找待解决的问题或壮举

……像 Inktomi 之类的地方。搜索引擎起步小，并不意味着它就无法获得 traction 或市场，而且如果它的功能足够吸引人，这事儿瞬间就能成。我建议读读道格拉斯·爱德华兹（Douglass Edwards）写的《手气不错》（I'm Feeling Lucky）——前几章详细描述了 Google 当时有多焦虑，生怕因为这样那样的原因被其他搜索引擎干掉。这有助于解释为什么他们采用新策略时动作会那么快……
…places like Inktomi. Just because a search engine starts small doesn't mean it can't gain traction or market, and if it has compelling enough features, it'll happen in a heartbeat. I suggest reading "I'm Feeling Lucky" by Douglass Edwards - the early chapters describe a lot of Google's anxiety of being killed by other search engines for one reason or another. It helps to explain why they'd be quick to adopt new strategies…

《精益创业》（The Lean Startup）——埃里克·莱斯（Eric Ries）；保罗·格雷厄姆（Paul Graham）的随笔（随便哪篇都行）；我自己也很喜欢道格拉斯·爱德华兹写的《手气不错：Google 第 59 号员工的自白》。

……敲定了它的商业模式：http://www.slate.com/articles/business/when_big_businesses_w... 特别推荐看约翰·巴特尔（John Battelle）2005年的《搜》（The Search）、史蒂文·利维（Steven Levy）2011年的《In the Plex》以及道格·爱德华兹（Doug Edwards）2011年的《手气不错》。至于 Facebook，公开的文献可能没那么多，但我很早就一直在关注/报道它，并且私下认识他们最早的几位员工。广告一直就不是……
…landed on its business model: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/when_big_businesses_w... See in particular John Battelle's "The Search" (2005), Steven Levy's "In the Plex" (2011), and Doug Edwards' "I'm Feeling Lucky" (2011). As for Facebook, there's probably less public documentation but I have been following/covering it from very early on and personally know a few of its earliest employees. Ads have never been…
真巧得搞笑，梅耶尔（Mayer）新职位的公告刚好在我读完《手气不错》[1]——也就是“Google 第 59 号员工”的回忆录——的第二天出来的。作者在书里写得很直白，字里行间都能让你感觉玛丽莎·梅耶尔是个极具破坏力且不称职的人，却还能为所欲为……
By an amusing coincidence the announcement of Mayer's new job came the day after I finished reading I'm Feeling Lucky[1], the memoirs of "Google employee #59". Its author makes it easy to read between the lines and get the impression that Marissa Mayer was an aggressively disruptive incompetent who could do whatever…
虽然不完全是一回事，但这确实让我想起了《手气不错：Google 第 59 号员工的自白》里的一句话：“作为程序员，我并不信任拉里和谢尔盖，”克雷格·希尔弗斯坦（Craig Silverstein）说。“我得去收拾他们斯坦福时期留下的 legacy code，里面毛病一大堆。……”
Not exactly the same thing, but this does remind me of a quote from I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59: "I didn't trust Larry and Sergey as coders," said Craig Silverstein. "I had to deal with their legacy code from the Stanford days and it had a lot of problems.…
