RIP Anandtech. It was the first tech news site I followed as a teen and got me into hardware, letting me peer behind the curtain of these mysterious machines we all use. Probably responsible for me choosing computer engineering in university. Many good memories of flashes of insight, wonder and amazement.
Haven't been frequenting the site as much since Anand left and I felt the site's days were numbered. They still had good content coming out but with Ian leaving, I think most (all?) of the old guard has left and this is probably the final nail in the coffin.
- uluyol 5y agoI've always enjoyed Ryan Smith's articles, but I think he's been busy with other duties since taking over. I have noticed that the quality of work coming from their junior writers improves over time. I mean just look at Ian. I always enjoyed his writing, but in the past few years it has gotten really really good and he's expanded to doing many Q&As and interviews (where you know, he actually asks interesting and tough questions).
- awiesenhofer 5y agoDon't count them out just yet - they still got Billy Tallis excellently covering the storage side of things. At least I think they do, haven't seen much of him in a while.
- IanCutress 5y agoBilly left in the middle of last year
- awiesenhofer 5y agoDamn, now I'm getting pessimistic as well. Thank you for the clarification!
