You seem to have switched from a general statement about the semiconductor industry to a specific occurrence. If your experience is only with this specific occurrence, you should not make general statements about the competence of thousands of people in the field.
Perhaps a more accurate statement would have been: "some clueless people exist in every field." But that is not as exciting.
- deepnotderp 9y agoThat was one example, others include Meltdown, the McAfee fiasco, etc. I also think it's fair to criticize "some clueless people" when they comprise a majority of the decision making power, which they do. I'm not saying that "every single person in the semiconductor industry" is wrong/clueless/incompetent, far from it, Bill Dally is experienced (he's been in semiconductors before I was born) and I consider him to be a genius. There are others as well, such as Ivan Sutherland, but my gripe is that these are not the people who make the decisions. And with respect to the general statement, this was in response to an article making a general statement about a general point.
