We’ve done a few cheat sheets on aspects of devops, but never one that focused on core devops news and trends. This is the one you’ve been waiting for — 21 names listed in “audience descending order.”
Who writes about the fine art of managing techies — programmers, coders and engineers? We turned out 10 suspects, most of whom toil for small web audiences. Nonetheless, these are some of the folks whose words technical workers read and respect.
Focused on developers and data, B2B tech edit freelancer Adrian Bridgwater writes for UK-based ComputerWeekly, Enterprise Networking Planet, eWeek UK, Forbes and IDG Connect.
Here are 11 targets who cover no code/low code at least occasionally. There’s a lot of overlap with more general devops reporters. There’s a good mix of Tier 1 and trades.
Here’s a baker’s dozen’s worth of targets who cover MLOps, where machine learning meets app development. You’ll see that we’ve rounded up the usual suspects, with a couple of exceptions.
Lots of targets to choose from, with multiple names in a single title. In this cheat sheet, we debut the appearance of traffic numbers from SimilarWeb. We also present the targets in descending order, based on the size of their audience.
Machine learning is transforming a whole lot and devops is no exception. Here’s a cheat sheet on edit specialists in the field.

FRIDGE NOTES
Terrific interview in Press Gazette UK with Dow Jones CEO and WSJ publisher Almar Latour. Revenue and earnings are up — 80 percent comes from digital. Advertising revenue was down slightly, but subscriptions are strong and growing. Almar was quite generous in his advice to competitors — “differentiate,” he says.
A survey fielded Nov. 27 asked how much (or how little) subscribers would pay for The Economist’s subscriber-only podcasts and newsletters, as well as its digital edition and a digital-print bundle. The survey strategy is brilliant: what if the publication charges too much, or worse, too little? Clearly, the publication is contemplating pricing changes and wants to maximize revenue.
“You can read us first, or read them later,” says The Information in a new advertising campaign. You will not see a better way to call attention to excellent editorial.
What a good idea — and lucrative too. Fortune launches a list of the biggest companies in Europe by revenue. Can the Fortune 500 Asia be far behind?
The FT has a cool scoop about Hunterbrook, a new kind of investment firm. Guided in part by former WSJ EIC Matt Murray, Hunterbrook’s business model is part investment firm, part publisher. The investment side of the house drives a (theoretically) market-moving business deal, while the publishing side of the house — comprised of veteran business reporters and analysts — works alongside under NDA. At the very moment the deal is announced, the editorial side publishes the article, moving the market and giving Hunterbrook first-mover advantage. It’s all legal. though leaks could pose a moral hazard.
When Google Bard was asked whether it could deliver a list of trade reporters along with their email addresses, it responded, “I’m a language model and don’t have the capacity to help with that.”
