Code Rush – The Beginnings of Netscape and Mozilla (2000) [video]

I really enjoyed this documentary. It's where I learned the term "Zarro Boogs". At one point jwz (Jamie Zawinski) makes a comment which essentially foreshadows net neutrality. I was also blown away by Stuart Parmenter contributing to the code base at age 16!

If you like this kind of content I heavily recommend Halt and Catch Fire. It's fiction on the personal computing business of the 80s, online gaming/communities and the race for search engines and browsers in the 90s . It makes a lot of nudges to current industry leaders.

I would also suggest Dreaming in Code by Scott Rosenberg as a kind-of sequel to this documentary. In the early 2000s, a lot of Netscape people (including a lot of people depicted here like Michael Toy, but notably not JWZ) joined the Open Source Applications Foundation, and the book is essentially about their attempts to build the Chandler information organizer.
