      You're a tech columnist for the NYT, and you don't understand who Marc Andreessen is? What exactly are the qualifications for that job?

      When will tech people realize that the media hates you and is determined to destroy you? Why do you KEEP engaging them as if they just need the facts? What will it take for you realize they're your enemies (and enemies of anything that doesn't involve them as gatekeepers)?

      I don't think they're driven by hate. There's probably some envy there, but I think mostly they're driven by clicks. Which is arguably more contemptible... Believe me, though, I know what their m.o. is.

          Then why do you (and most people like you) keep engaging them in good faith, when you KNOW they don't return the favor. Its like they are using MMA rules, and you're using Marquis of Queensbury rules. You're going to lose, even though you are RIGHT.

          Exactly, if they destroyed you - what would they write about? Celebrity journalism does seem to have a pump and dump dynamic though...

          But isn’t big tech responsible for driving those economic terms? Click bait is necessitated by Google, Facebook and Twitter.

          Dude, go read some history and let the adults talk. Start with Brass Check by Upton Sinclair and anything about yellow journalism.

          To be fair, they are "making something people want", just not what we *need*.https://www.nemil.com/musings/make-something-people-need.html …

          This was completely a clickbait driven tweet. It's cute and it's snarky to dunk on techies and that's what this guy did. Think about it this way we were talking about him...

          If you think this is the case, you are going to miss the fox in the henhouse. They can't be any clearer about their hatred.
