Lyons is an interesting case. Good writer by most measures.
His later work on Fake Steve Jobs and Silicon Valley was hilarious.
I can't grok whether his hatred of Linux was genuine or was it simply motivated by some external motivation from SCO or related organisation.
He should have known better.
- krageon 5y ago> Good writer I would posit that when you write hit pieces (either for your own convictions or money), you are not a good writer.
- LegitShady 5y agoYou might be a good writer anyways, just one who is wrong or did not understand the situation. If we required writers to be right all the time they'd fail at that like anyone else.
- krageon 5y agoYou are moving the goalposts - I did not call for this.
- LegitShady 5y agoNo, there are very good writers who write hitpieces. If you want to make moral judgements maybe they're not good people, but writing a hitpiece doesn't make you a bad writer.
- krageon 5y agoYou moved the goalposts again. And it turns out we disagree :)
