Re/code tech reviewer Cha is leaving

Bonnie Cha, a tech product columnist for Re/code, is leaving the tech news site and writes about her decision.

Cha writes, “I’ll certainly miss my colleagues and peers, and the buzz and camaraderie of the newsroom during breaking news events. I’ll miss going mini-golfing and stand-up paddle boarding to test action cameras for ‘work,’ as well as freaking out my co-workers with a telepresence robot. I’ll even miss angry emails from readers — or, more accurately, responding to angry emails in a nice, civil manner.

“I probably won’t miss conducting 10-hour battery tests (or falling asleep during battery tests, as any reviewer can understand), trying not to get trampled during the running of the tech journalists at events, heeding senseless embargoes and the annual insanity of the International CES in Vegas.

“I’m excited for my next step, and separately, I’m excited to see what Re/code and its new sister site, the Verge, will do, separately and in collaboration, now that they have common ownership.”
