Career Advice, Craig Jones and Tech Journalism Realities
Craig Jones recounts a personal story from the mid-2010s when he sought career advice from John C. Dvorak regarding tech journalism. Dvorak reportedly told him "don't do it," predicting the downsizing and folding of major tech publications. Jones credits this blunt honesty with saving him from professional hardship and leading him toward a more stable life.
The hosts recount how Tech TV and ZDNet failed to consult their own experts, like Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo, when setting up corporate blogs. They use this as an example of how large organizations often ignore the talent they hire. They also briefly defend their own use of Squarespace for the show's website.
The hosts briefly discuss Dave Winer and his blog, Scripting News. They acknowledge his foresight regarding communication mediums while humorously detailing their personal personality clashes and mutual skepticism of each other's perspectives.
