Hardware & Architecture

Nikhil had tweeted the following earlier today. I saw it this evening and liked it:

Hardware designers who avoid considering architectures are like software designers who avoid considering algorithms.

TechBites

I've been enjoying Max Maxfield and Brian Bailey's posts on TechBites, a new kind of site for the system design and EDA communities. I really like what they're going for -- a blend of editorial content and social community.

My last company was in the storage networking space, which had a strong presence by an online website called www.byteandswitch.com. One of the things I liked about Byte and Switch was the tight integration of commentary with articles, which was fairly unique at the time.

TechBites has the ingredients to build a community in our space. I'm watching closely.
