An inside view of tech culture in the 1990s

Ellen Ullman writing about programming and consulting gigs. What comes across well is the excitement about technology and new projects while already knowing that the grand ideas will not come to pass, that the technology becomes complicated and that the context it is used in is as human and complicated as any other context.
