Inside My Life as “The Tech News Guy” Everyone Texts at Midnight


There’s a running joke among my friends: if something happens in tech, I probably knew about it two hours before it hit Twitter. Being the “tech news guy” isn’t just a job — it’s a lifestyle powered by caffeine, push notifications, and an unhealthy obsession with everything that buzzes, beeps, or updates.

My day starts with 37 unread alerts before breakfast.
Chip shortages. AI breakthroughs. A startup raising $200M because it “reinvents email.” A billionaire CEO tweeting something questionable again. It’s chaos, but it’s my kind of chaos.

People think reporting tech news is simply summarizing announcements.
Absolutely not.

My work is 60% decoding jargon, 30% predicting which story actually matters, and 10% explaining to normal humans why a software update isn’t a personality trait.

And yes — my DMs are a circus.

At any time, I might get messages like:
“Bro, is this new crypto legit?”
“Should I buy this phone or wait for the next one?”
“Is AI going to steal my job?”
Or my favorite:
“What exactly is the cloud? And why is my data in it?”

I love it, though. Because the real thrill of being a tech news guy isn’t the gadgets — it’s the pace. Tech today moves like it has somewhere important to be. One minute, we’re talking about folding phones; the next, AI models are writing novels, designing code, and probably judging our Google search history.

Sometimes I catch myself laughing because I remember a time when “big tech news” meant a new colored iPod. Now? We’re debating ethics of humanoid robots and quantum processors like it’s casual brunch conversation.

But here’s the secret:
I’m not in this for the hype.
I’m in it for the story.

Every update, every breakthrough, every wild experiment — it’s all part of a bigger narrative about how humans and technology are evolving together.

So yes, I’ll keep following every leak, rumor, trend, and launch event.
Because the future isn’t coming slowly anymore — it’s sprinting.

And someone’s gotta cover the race.
