I thought the same thing. It’s usually content that’s well outside my areas of familiarity, often even outside my areas of interest. But I usually find his writing interesting enough to read through anyway, and clear enough that I can usually follow it even without familiarity with the subject matter.

I had the same thought. I imagine the percentage of hacker news links to microsoft.com that are Raymond Chen links is high.

I had the same thought too. I wonder if this his role at Microsoft now? Kind of a human institutional knowledge repository, plus a kind of brand ambassador to the developer community, plus mentor to younger engineers, plus chronicler.

I hope he keeps going, no doubt he could choose to finish up whenever he wants to.
