The Story Behind The CODEW
From a small Blogger technology blog to an independent technology and market intelligence publication.
The CODEW began in 2014 as a small technology blog hosted on Blogger, Google's free blogging and publishing platform.
Over time, the project went through a period of inactivity while I focused on other work and worked online as a remote professional. But I never stopped wanting to build and run my own technology publication.
In 2025, I returned to the project, acquired the thecodew.com domain, and began a major rebrand and redevelopment of the site.
Today, The CODEW is independently researched, written, edited, developed, and published by me. The publication covers AI, enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, semiconductors, startups, venture capital, technology M&A, and other areas where technology and business increasingly intersect.
The goal is straightforward: provide useful technology and market intelligence without unnecessary hype, with a focus on the companies, technologies, capital, and strategic decisions shaping the industry.
The CODEW Lens: A publication that paused and returned is a publication that knows what it is for. The CODEW is not a side project. It is a decade-long bet on independent technology research.

Built for the Long Term
The CODEW is being built as more than a daily technology news site. The long-term vision is to create a durable technology and market intelligence platform combining current reporting, strategic analysis, company research, evergreen guides, and practical business intelligence.
What began as a technology publishing experiment in 2014 went through a period of uncertainty and pause, returned in a new form, and continues to evolve today.
The CODEW Lens: The long-term vision is not to be the biggest technology publication. It is to be the most useful one — for readers who need research that respects the cost of getting decisions wrong.
