Oh, one other thing.
I read "Soul of a New Machine" back when the book was new. A few years
later, in 1986, I joined a company where there was a manager by the name
of Carl Alsing. I didn't recall the name until somebody told me that Carl
was one of the players in that book.
So I went back and reread the book and I was really impressed by
Tracy Kidder's writing. When he described Carl in the book, his
description was really great and captured many aspects of Carl's
personality in just a few words.
It gave the rest of the book much more credibility to me.
