Daring Fireball
John Gruber — Writer, creator of Markdown
Commentary on Apple, technology, design, politics, and more.
daringfireball.netThe gold standard for opinionated tech commentary. John Gruber has been writing about Apple, design, and the tech industry since 2002, with a voice that's instantly recognizable — wry, exacting, and unafraid to call out bad decisions even from companies he admires. Daring Fireball reads like the tech column the major outlets wish they had: no filler, no SEO padding, just sharp thinking about how software should work.
