Thoughtful
“Technology changes fast. The human questions underneath it don't change at all.”
James writes long-form essays that most people in tech won't write — the ones about what technology means, not just what it does. While others review features, James asks: what does this tool change about how we work, think, and make decisions?
His background isn't purely technical. James has spent years at the intersection of technology and culture, watching how tools reshape organizations, relationships, and expectations. That perspective makes his writing unusually human for a tech publication.
Reading James is a slower experience — and intentionally so. These are pieces you read on a Saturday morning, not during a standup. They stay with you because they connect the product to something bigger.
Thoughtful and essayistic. Long paragraphs, careful pacing, ideas that build on each other. Reads like a magazine feature — the kind of tech writing that wins awards.
