Mossberg writes, “Over my career, I’ve reinvented myself numerous times. I covered the Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA. I wrote about labor wars, trade wars and real wars. I chronicled a nuclear plant meltdown and the defeat of Communism. I co-founded a couple of media businesses.
“And, in the best professional decision of my life, I converted myself into a tech columnist in 1991. As a result, I got to bear witness to a historic parade of exciting, revolutionary innovation — from slow, clumsy ancient PCs to sleek, speedy smartphones; from CompuServe and early AOL to the mobile web, apps, and social media.
“My column has run weekly in a variety of places over the years, most recently on The Verge and Recode under the Vox Media umbrella, where I’ve been quite happy and have added a podcast of which I’m proud.
“So I see retirement as just another of these reinventions, another chance to do new things and be a new version of myself.
“I will likely write a bit more about this before I stop. But, for now, I just want to thank you for reading, viewing and listening to me over the years, and for letting me know when you thought me right or crazy.”

I always stopped what I was doing and listened when Mr. Mossberg was on CNBC. I hope that he will not be completely retiring from writing, and that we will still have benefit of his thoughts and perspective.
