I think many have the wrong impression of Silicon Valley. Our foundation is steeped in Science. I worked in SEMI, which refers to Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment development and manufacturing, which some call the most high tech of the high tech, because he do you fab a new chip without the machine to fab it? Kinda chicken-and-egg concept.
So I used Computer Science to work with this incredible industry. I learned a lot. When you are talking about the size of the traces in Nanometers, your mind just might be blown.
