Spent a long time on this @pmarca profile for @BW, especially where he grew up in Wisconsin. Marc Andreessen has a complicated relationship with his hometown, but I discovered another (touching) side of his childhood that has never been told: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

This Bloomberg / Jason Schreier article is amazing. It clearly outlines GTA 6's development, debunks numerous waffle rumours (like the $1.5 - $3 billion dev costs rumour), and gives us a ton of insight into just how massive this game truly is. It's also really cool to hear about how the studio responded to things such as the 2022 leaks, the drastically different approach to crunch time compared to RDR2, the delays and more. Please check it out, if you're a fan of this game and have followed the rumour cycle for the past few years, I wholeheartedly think of this article as a must read. Phenomenal stuff from Schreier.

Garmin is lowkey one of America's most interesting tech companies. Beyond smart watches, they make products in everything from aviation to golfing to horseback riding. And they are *thriving*. For @BW, I went to Kansas City to profile their media-shy CEO: bloomberg.com/news/features/…
