Did you read the post? He specifically calls out biographies as the exception to the 'no journalists' rule and describes why journalists are well suited to write bios.
In other words there's no reason to believe the author would miss any of the books you mentioned by his "journalist disdain".
- tptacek 8y agoSpeaking of things specifically called out, the HN guidelines ask you not to write the words "did you read the post".
- james_s_tayler 8y agoHmm so better to just overtly state "you didn't read the post." ?
- tptacek 8y agoNo. How about, just read the guidelines and find out.
- james_s_tayler 8y agoSo what you're telling me is that I didn't read the guidelines. Kind of my point exactly. But anyway.
- prlambert 8y agoFair enough! thanks for keeping me honest. Unfortunately edit window has passed so can't fix as suggested in the guidelines:future readers please ignore the question and start at sentence 2.
