About

Overheard in the Bay is a short weekday briefing on what is actually going on in Bay Area tech: who is up, who is down, what people are whispering, and what the press is getting wrong. It is written to be read in five minutes and repeated at dinner.

The tone is dry on purpose. The takes are meant to be correct, and the jokes are meant to carry the argument rather than replace it. Stories are chosen for water-cooler interest, not for how many press releases they generated.

Every item links to its sources, ranked by tier, so you can check the work. Sources marked as discovery-only were used to find a story, not to confirm it.
