Great work by @sarveshmathi on this interview.
Really illustrates some key concepts, including (a) that technically literate people should be writing & reporting on tech, (b) there’s plenty of talent out there internationally we haven’t tapped, and (c) we can do so much better.

This whole series of articles is some of the best tech journalism I’ve ever seen. Because it’s not all gossip columns and funding rounds. The reader actually learns something. It’s like @QuantaMagazine but for tech. https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/collections/behind-the-code/coder-stories
One thing that jumps out at me from those pieces: social media isn’t the only factor in reducing the quality of tech writing.
Once technology became the “tech industry” & worth billions, many people got into it just for money. Coverage gradually dumbed down to focus on funding.

Note: deleted & reposted two tweets in this thread because included slightly wrong link.
The “Coder Stories” link is the right one. Take a look at the screenshots below to see an alternative vision of what tech writing might look like. Informative & fun! https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/collections/behind-the-code/coder-stories
