I remember reading an article a long time ago...

wait here it is:

https://www.cringely.com/2009/03/14/parrot-secrets/

This guy had found a niche for an online business.

I can't help but wonder how many competing cookie-cutter copies of the businesses were started the day that article was published.

Cringely is amazing. He runs his whole persona under a name that directly confessed how bad his thinking his, yet has somehow made a long career as a pundit.

Not saying he's a big fish in a small pond, but how many people consistently write about tech topics like he does?

I don't mean how many people write about tech, I mean how many people write about tech - and the who, and the why... and the why not.
