Tech community honors journalist Om Malik following his death at 59

Ryan Hoover used a post on X to share "a few words" about Om Malik. Hoover also linked to an earlier tribute post saying Malik "certainly left a mark." The public posts do not add independent reporting beyond those tributes, but they show why the news is resonating in startup circles now: people are remembering Malik as someone who showed up, encouraged founders and stayed in touch.
