People think being a “tech news guy” just means tweeting about new iPhones and AI updates. Trust me—it’s way more stressful, chaotic, and strangely addictive than that. My day doesn’t start with sunshine or coffee; it starts with notifications. Dozens of them. Leaks, insider tips, embargoed press releases, rumors from Reddit threads that sound insane—but sometimes end up being true.
The funny thing about tech news is you’re always racing against a clock no one can see but everyone feels. One minute you’re quietly scrolling; the next minute Apple “accidentally” posts something, Meta leaks an internal doc, or some startup in Palo Alto raises $200 million overnight—without even having a product. When that happens, you don’t walk, you teleport to your laptop.
My inbox is a weird mix of PR emails, anonymous tips, and messages like, “Bro, don’t mention my name but I have something big.” Half the time I think people imagine me in a dark room with 12 monitors. In reality, I’m usually sitting in sweatpants, hair messy, typing faster than my brain can keep up.
There’s an adrenaline rush that comes with breaking a story first. You hit publish, refresh the page, watch the views spike, then see other outlets quote you within minutes. That part never gets old. But the pressure? Yeah, that sticks around too. One wrong fact and the entire tech community reminds you instantly. They don’t miss anything.
But what I love most is witnessing the future unfold in real-time. The innovations, the failures, the wild ideas. Watching how AI is reshaping creativity, how startups burn money like fireworks, how billion-dollar companies panic when a new kid enters the space—it’s fascinating. Technology moves fast, but human reactions move faster.
Some nights I’m still writing at 2 AM, rewriting headlines until they’re sharp enough to stop someone mid-scroll. Other days, I’m at events, testing gadgets, interviewing founders who swear they’re building “the next big thing.” Spoiler: most aren’t.
Still, I wouldn’t trade this life. Being the person who connects people with what’s happening right now, before it becomes old news—that’s the thrill.
In tech, everything updates every second.
So does my life.
