Episode notes

Andrew Sullivan announced he was leaving his blog, which provoked all kinds of people to say that blogging is dead. I wrote a piece this week saying that blogging is not dead and posited a lot of things that I've posited a bit over time. This is my one thing that I will continue to get on my soapbox about because I think it's important. He also linked to the Azure client piece that I linked to, which quite frankly really irritated me.

This is the story of Stratechery, presented with much sheepishness on Ben’s part. How Ben thought about the market, his business model, and more. We apologize that this is a little long and perhaps a bit choppy. It’s hard to talk about us!
