I Knew a Programmer Who Went Completely Insane
Has anyone read The Bug (
http://www.amazon.com/The-Bug-Ellen-Ullman/dp/B000HWYPSE/ref...
)? After reading it and experiencing all kinds of work environments, I can see how a person's sanity is tested.

Yes - I came in just to mention this. A great combination of a glance into the dotcom startup days + a feel of the classic gothic horror novel.

I also saw it as a cautionary tale to people in our line of work.
