It's a great era to be a hardware nerd. TSMC got so far out in front of everyone that their competitors had to get creative and solve other issues. Why is this on 7mn? Because I dont think you could do this on 3nm. It is my understand

It whooshed right past your head. Go is stone cold simple to pick up. ITs simple to reason about. I can decompose a project and spoon feed it to a JR engineer and they can get through it. Rust is none of those things. Its great for low leve

Wow, that's a pretty good take. There is a line here though. I think a lot of people have seen what happens when you set a bunch of JR devs loose in a node/ruby code base with all that tooling. It goes about as well as giving a le
