Hacker News Reader

Comment by fnbr | Hacker News Reader

Stratechery (& Dithering) is the only paid newsletter I subscribe to. It’s so worth it. I think that everyone working in tech should subscribe to maintain an objective view of the overall tech landscape. Otherwise, you get sucked into the gravitational well of your employer’s propaganda.

This is especially true at big tech, as Ben covers them often.

I am not sure how many people really get sucked into employer’s propaganda. However, it is a great newsletter with good interviews and an energetic and passionate voice on tech.

I think it’s easy to get sucked into it accidentally if the only source of tech news you read is your employer’s internal newsletters.

A bit off topic but every other (public) article from Stratechery reads like a hagiography of Intel. Now he landed an interview with the man himself. Hmm. Pat's time is extraordinarily valuable. Either the author lets his personal bias affect his analysis too much, or there is some PR money at work here.

There's still a lot of interesting analysis but my opinion of the newsletter has soured over time.

It sounds like you should read more of Ben's articles. He doesn't write about Intel every other article and he has long been critical of them for losing ground to TSMC.

It's telling there's not even mention, even if a jackfruit question, of IME

>Pat's time is extraordinarily valuable.

It is. On the other hand, a not insignificant part of his job is talking to journalists, industry analysts, financial analysts, etc. Doesn't mean just anyone can drop an email and get an interview but, although I haven't spoken with Pat for quite some time, I had 1:1s with him (and did a little work for him) when he was CTO.
