Developer Hegemony is interesting. I don’t agree with Erik that you can classify the corporate/business world as simply as he does, for one I think the “idealist” part of his spectrum is probably two to three separate personas (idealists, chronically-anxious, grateful/approval hungry). I do value, greatly, the encouragement to strike out on business though.
Rich Dad Poor Dad has some ok mental-model ideas that are great if don’t come from a background/family that exposed you to “the business world”, most of the rest of it is repetitive drivel.
