- ZeroCool2u 2y agoI'm not saying that I necessarily agree, but the general consensus on HN seems to be that Broadcom is now less of a tech company and more of a holding company that raids others, for example VMWare, and extracts all value to the detriment of customers and the acquired company. I don't think that's completely wrong, but it's a big company and I'm sure there are some better areas of the company than others.
