Ben Thompson(@benthompson):Very sad news, on a human level, an industry level, and a personal level. I didn’t know Om super well, but he was one of the pioneers that made Stratechery possible. And my most vivid memory of him is some truly excellent device that he unilaterally reached out to give me right when I got started that was both right and that I have held onto. A generous man.
