@nixCraft in The Soul of a New Machine, Kidder describes the day they came into the lab and found that one of the top chip designers had had his fill of nanoseconds: > He went away from the basement @nixCraft he found out it's easier to do farming than improving windoge performance @nixCraft decades of _performance_ engineering at m$ with nothing to show. At least you get geese from being a goose farmer. @nixCraft Plus you can make delicious foi gras with them. :rp_hungry: @nixCraft In Canada and worldwide this was the way, some workers went, when Nortel was bankrupt. Astronomical growth everywhere and then Roth happened. It’s why I’m shifting into humanistic vocations. Being of service to my fellow humans is far more rewarding and more important than playing with hardware and software. @nixCraft To no-ones surprise, the timeline strongly suggests it was architecture that broke their will. @nixCraft |
