I've been reading Tony Fadell's book "Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making" and it's great so far!

They talk about parts of the book on his Lex Fridman interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oDZyOf6CW4

You should watch the General Magic documentary and see the interviews of his former/current self

I'm curious why you think one should watch these?

Because they support the parent comment, or for some other reason?

I found it fascinating seeing archival footage of an idealistic startup too early to market, where he appeared to be the youngest and least experienced on the team.

I agree, it shows how Tony Fadell joined a company with little to no hardware experience and how it ultimately led to him helping build the iPod and Nest later in his life using similar ideologies he learned from General Magic/early Apple.
