There are several people posting on their websites who aren't deeply expert in the fields they're posting about, but because some of them are very well-connected in the industry they often give useful pointers to what's going on. For example, in Dylan's case he wrote an article about Directed Self-Assembly with High-NA EUV lithography. I asked around with a couple of people in Intel, one of them chuckled when I asked about the article, but DSA is apparently real, but more difficult to implement than Dylan's article makes it out to be. The value was I saw it first from him. Dylan has also started using co-authors lately, and I've noticed a modest improvement in technical quality, though to be honest I'm not expert enough to really judge them on my own.I am just saying he knows things and details about supply chain and what people are doing. I assume he has a great network as some of the details he knows are incredibly accurate and not widely known. As Tyrion Lannister said "That's what I do. I drink and I know things" (I dont know if Dylan drinks LOL)
I dont know his education or background. I am not hiring him to lead R&D. I just listen and then double check.
Just an opinion.
I read The Next Platform, mostly written by Timothy Morgan, and I do have enough expertise to judge his writing (and my judgement is not positive, except when he's doing financial analyses), but, again, he is very well connected and points me towards news items to further investigate without his, uh, technical analysis. Another analyst who pops to mind is Patrick Moorhead, but he stays at a high level, targets non-technical people, and is very useful to get a feel for what's going on. He's also very polished and keeps to what he knows, which is admirable.
