BUFF SLAVE TINDER CEO

> be Sam Zeloof > decide that making computer chips shouldn't require a billion-dollar factory > turn your parents' garage into a semiconductor laboratory > start making individual transistors while still in high school > then attempt something almost nobody has done at home > manufacture an actual integrated circuit from scratch > in 2018, build the Z1 with six transistors > not buy a chip, not assemble a kit > actually manufacture the silicon chip yourself > use chemicals, furnaces, microscopes, and ultraviolet light > build your own machine to print microscopic patterns onto silicon > because commercial photolithography machines can cost millions > finish the entire first chip using 66 steps > then go back and make something 200 times more complex > build the Z2 with 1,200 transistors > use salvaged equipment and machines he repairs himself > even buy a broken electron microscope for $1,000 > a machine that originally cost $250,000 > design chips, fabricate them, and test whether the transistors actually work > all from a garage in New Jersey > for perspective, Intel's first commercial microprocessor had 2,300 transistors > Sam is using technology inspired by the semiconductor industry of the 1970s > his chips aren't competing with modern processors > he's proving that making silicon isn't exclusively a billion-dollar industry's privilege > imagine what happens when more people can build their own chips

No women should be in the cockpit of any airplane that is carrying passengers at this point.
