My fellow New Yorkers: I usually don’t storm Twitter but I felt the need this morning. The way that some people have been talking about us on Twitter and in the media has been weighing on my heart. Some have been very supportive, and for that, I’m sure we’re all appreciative. /1

Spent 12 years at TC and one thing that is true about all of my colleagues is that they’re brilliant generalists who just happened to be writers and editors. They’ll all do great in media but they already know a metric fuck ton about the tech industry, can learn anything more…

I live above a daycare. Through the open window at my desk, I can hear the sound of children at play all summer long. Fall comes, they go away, and I hardly remember it. But when they emerge each spring, it gives me such a sense of joy at the start of a new season.
