    People crap on the "Crunch Network" quite a bit, but there are some real gems in there. Take "The Stack Fallacy," a solid post that might have gotten 20 hearts on Medium, but TC helped elevate the idea to the point that the WSJ picked up on it. Granted, there's some dross in there, but like it or not, it's tech's paper of record. https://techcrunch.com/2016/01/18/why-big-companies-keep-failing-the-stack-fallacy/ https://techcrunch.com/2016/01/18/why-big-companies-keep-fai...
