#tsmc in Arizona: a concrete monster hungry for water, in the middle of the desert, driving a culture shock. A debacle? That’s quite a story by Rest of the World.

The NLRB should investigate #TSMC:

“I love challenges & pushing myself, but this was lunatic-level ldrshp."

Bruce: reality of working at TSMC wasn’t exactly what he'd envisioned. While working on nanometer-level processes to make state-of-the-art chips -struggled w language barriers, long hours, & a strict hierarchy -PROD at the FAC: now set to start in 2025.

TSMC insiders: key to co’s success: intense, MIL-style work ENVIR. Engineers work 12-hr days-.

No news but Interesting how the CEO's of Nvidia (Jensen Huang) and AMD (Lisa Su) are actually related. TSMC is also from Taiwan which illustrates how important this country is in the chip industry.
