Helped with some chip production quality management software at Kodak in Rochester back in 1992. It was really scary seeing this behemoth company with its lunch canteens full of top engineers as the numbers were headed steeply down and the bleak future was already unfolding. Strange how at that time the rank and file, to the extent that average engineers could be called that, could clearly see that digital was the future and yet their latest offerings were mediocre performers with lots of overdone features hardly anyone used that cost a ton to develop.
- User23 5y agoKodak’s inventors were top notch back then. They had a ton of patents for digital photography, but the executives were incompetent at best and let it all slip away. Also don’t forget Kodak had a huge presence in Germany. Kodak AG was an incredible source of innovation.
