- sudosysgen 4y agoSure but people able to be process engineers on the caliber of those at TSMC are likely to be able to get good SWE jobs if they really wanted to. We're talking about highly qualified jobs here, un Taiwan a lot of those are gonna have PhDs+.

- sudosysgen 4y agoIf you can get a STEM PhD you can probably get into FAANG. Sure they're not what they used to be, they're still difficult to get. And they require many of the same skills as modern programming interviews.
- ekianjo 4y ago> nd they require many of the same skills as modern programming interviews. I don't know, I have seen numerous PHDs who can't competently write any piece of code, I'm beginning to think it's a feature, not a coincidence.
- sudosysgen 4y agoThat's because their job isn't really to write code, it's to do something else. But if you can get a PhD you can probably learn how to leetcode. A lot of them don't really care much about being able to write good code.
- sdvsa 4y agoPeople that create the factory flow, maybe. But I’d argue it’s a pretty different set of skills. People that run the flow, definitely not.
- sudosysgen 4y agoSome of those that maintain and make sure some machines are working correctly do have very advanced degrees, but I agree most aren't as qualified. However, these aren't the people the video is talking about nor the people that will be difficult to recruit.
