agree 100%. the '5 minute' newscycle of tech blogs leads to needless repetition of dumb stuff.
- dredmorbius 14y agoAny news cycle tends to repetition of stuff. There's the annual calendar of "news" stories pertaining to major holidays, sports events, and political cycles. If you've lived a few years (or decades) in any particular area, you'll find a recycled set of "places to go, things to do, sights to see" articles. If you've lived through a few economic cycles, there's a very predictable trend through boom, cusp, bust, downturn, recovery cycles (NB: still in the downturn). News is cyclic. Not everyone knows everything. Reiterating the basics every so often is necessary. The challenge isn't not doing it, but getting the balance right.
