Very true. Ironically, my career has come full-circle and I am now working for Intel doing chip design (actually working on developing tools that do chip design). The process of producing modern state-of-the-art chips is truly mind-blowing.
- jacquesm 4y agoI watched that 'indistinguishable from magic' video and that is indeed the only appropriate way to describe it, and if our base tech would not improve from this point forward I'd say that is a job well done. But I also have a soft spot for the GA144, which represents the other extreme, it's what one man can do versus what a whole team of talented engineers can do.
- yvdriess 4y agoJudging by your alias: Are you the guy with Lisp EDA tools?
- lisper 4y agoIt's the guy I work for, not me, but yes.
- mepian 4y agoIntel is actually using Lisp in its tools? Can you tell more about your job?

This is my boss giving a talk about the tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGQd-suLvzQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGQd-suLvzQ It was developed at a startup called Barefoot Networks, which was acquired by Intel a few years ago. What else do you want to know?
- mepian 4y agoIs your work related in any way to Symbolics NS, beyond using the same language? Maybe you're reusing some public knowledge from the papers that were published about it? Is your team hiring? I'm working at Intel, though far from hardware design - in the MPI library's team. In my spare time I learned Common Lisp and some basics of hardware design, so I would be happy to make my hobbies relevant to my job and work with you.
