okkkkk @jessdato recommended @meetgranola and wow it truly has been a game changer!
Another interesting tidbit: Early on, chip inventors and manufacturers had strong conviction but little clarity on usage. The US government was the biggest customer (mainly for space and defense), but manufacturers envisioned more, despite not knowing what that would be—a solution chasing problems.
People often dislike “solutions chasing problems” (see blockchain/crypto), but the proliferation of chips as one of the biggest tech advances shows it’s not always a bad thing.
