Dev Kapoor

Dev started as a process engineer at a contract semiconductor assembly house before moving into trade press, and he still reads a datasheet before he reads a press release. He covers hardware the way other reporters cover earnings calls: allocation numbers, yield rumors, and who's actually getting wafer capacity versus who's just announcing a 'strategic partnership.' He also runs Protocol Wire's periodic developer-tools roundups, where his rule is simple — no tool gets ranked on its landing page copy, only on what it does in a real repo.
