TSMC (Remastered)
We dive into the unbelievable and unlikely history behind the quietest technology giant of them all: the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Founded in 1987 by the then-56 year old Morris Chang, already a legend in the semiconductor industry by virtue of his meteoric rise and fall at Texas Instruments, TSMC today manufactures nearly all the leading-edge chips for Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, Qualcomm, AMD, and yes — even Intel. Tune in for an incredible story of innovation, perseverance and lasers. Lots and lots of lasers! Note: this is a remastered version of our original 2021 episode. We don’t often re-release old episodes, but in this case we have a very timely reason for doing so. Stay tuned! :) Sponsors: WorkOS: https://bit.ly/workos25 Intapp: https://bit.ly/acquiredintapp Sentry:

Exploring Early Web Patterns for Modern AI Agent Development
Exploring Early Web Patterns for Modern AI Agent Development The repository 6551Team/claude-code-design-guide presents an interesting thesis: visual and architectural solutions from the early web - from first HTML pages to 1990s browser interfaces - can enrich modern AI agent development using Claude Code. The Connection Isn't Forced Early internet had to solve problems similar to today's AI agency challenges: Constrained client resources Need for fast content delivery Operating under unstable connections These solutions - interface design patterns, data structures, state management approaches - were largely forgotten, though some are precisely suited for the new generation of autonomous systems. ## Practical Guide, Not Just History The project isn't merely historical reference; it's a pra
