Was wondering if everyone was supposed to know who this was....read some of the comments that mention these kinds of wisdom lists ending up on HN here and there...
It's like a name that seems sorta familiar but dunno if it just sounds like someone else from tech or something.
Interesting a quick HN search shows a bunch of shares posts that got any traction but they're all like 14-15 years ago?
He is “still a thing.” A decade ago blogs were a thing and he was prominent as a blogger. Now blogs are dead, but he’s still podcasting a lot, so it’s easier to have not come across his podcast (because you’re not going to casually spend an hour listening unless you are pretty into it) than to not come across a blog (where people would link to ten random things every day).
I'm not out of the loop here generally... I just now realized I hadn't heard the name in a good while. Of course back in a certain era of blogging and stuff mid-00s now it's coming back but shrug!

Was Merlin Mann more of a thing a decade+ ago?
