Re: the book: Code Name Ginger by Steve Kemper

I recently borrowed this book and finished reading it last night. It was a quick read, though I didn't find it to be particularly compelling. It seemed that, after awhile, it started to repeat itself in content. Get money, calm egos, build prototype, make changes. Rinse, repeat.

At the start of the book, when Kemper described how people felt about going to work for DEKA, it was inspiring and made me really anxious to get back to my engineering degree. By the end, I was left with the same impression that caused me to look away from engineering in the first place -- that it's a profession that's pessimistic, repetitive and frustrating.
