Bill Gates’s memoir ‘Source Code’: He sneaked out of window to code, ‘could be awake for 36 hours at a stretch’

As a teenager, Bill Gates would sneak out his bedroom window to code all night at a computer lab. At Harvard, he “could be awake for 36 hours at a stretch", trying to make room for studying as well as programming, the mogul tells in his personal memoirs "Source Code: My Beginnings". A book review by the New York Times shares interesting excerpts from Bill Gates memoir. “Reading a lot, being smart, showing an interest in what teachers said — those were considered girl things.” “Source Code” highlights all the women who played a formative role in Gates’s coming of age — his mother, his Gami, his elementary-school teachers, the beloved librarian. The memoir recounts Gates "childhood battles with his parents over bad grades, seeing a therapist who helped him process his arrogance and anger, and getting precious access to a rare computer at his private school."
