Target · 2021 · accessed 2026-06-22
Target's product page prints an attributed Steve Wozniak review quote for My Life at Apple; a durable text capture is checked in at docs/source-receipts/source-captures/target-my-life-at-apple-2026-06-22.md. The original X-post lead was discovered but direct X rendering was blocked during this pass, so this row uses the inspectable retailer quote and remains a weak mention.

I had never read such a book covering the work of engineers.
