I'm under the impression that the amount of writing about other tech writers on Daring Fireball has increased during the last few months at the expense of writing about, well, tech.
Which makes the site less pleasant to read for me.
And in a sense it's "jumping the shark" - having run out of ideas, the John Gruber show is starting to fill episodes with unlikely, contrived subplots that have nothing to do with the original premise of the show, which was to write, in depth, about Apple products.
- smackfu 16y agoThere's a lot of zeal in making fun of other people. He's become a bit of a bully.
- ubernostrum 16y agoI don't agree that there's been an abnormal increase recently; any time Apple launches something major, there's always a followup period in which Gruber does a bunch of his "claim chowder" or similar posts. Similarly, there's usually a short burst of them around quarterly-filing dates, going after market commentators. And, true to form, he's been doing a lot of that lately with iPad coverage, and those posts will probably start tailing off soon.
