Every Friday, I share other great content (with some added context) to dive into over the weekend. These could be articles, podcasts, videos, Twitter threads, or other great newsletters.

In short, these are the most interesting of the interesting stuff I've come across.

I Saw the Face of God in a Semiconductor Factory

This article is hilariously long. It's closer to a novella than an article BUT my goodness is it worth it to go behind the veil of one of the most important companies today, TSMC.

They make all of the important chips that power your favorite devices (and the other devices people create bunkers for).

By revenue, TSMC is the largest semiconductor company in the world. In 2020 it quietly joined the world’s 10 most valuable companies. It’s now bigger than Meta and Exxon. The company also has the world’s biggest logic chip manufacturing capacity and produces, by one analysis, a staggering 92 percent of the world’s most avant-garde chips—the ones inside the nuclear weapons, planes, submarines, and hypersonic missiles on which the international balance of hard power is predicated.

Perhaps more to the point, TSMC makes a third of all the world’s silicon chips, notably the ones in iPhones and Macs. Every six months, just one of TSMC’s 13 foundries—the redoubtable Fab 18 in Tainan—carves and etches a quintillion transistors for Apple. In the form of these miniature masterpieces, which sit atop microchips, the semiconductor industry churns out more objects in a year than have ever been produced in all the other factories in all the other industries in the history of the world.

Pretty impressive stuff, right? Buckle up for an amazing deep dive into one of the most consequential companies of the 21st century.

J. Cole sits down with Bob Myers

I cringed every time Bob Myers cut J. Cole short in this interview. Cole World had so much more to say and I wished he had an opportunity to finish his thoughts.

That said, this was one of the best interviews J. Cole has given.

If you don't have time for the full interview, watch the section on J. Cole's Three Pillars for Success: 1) dream a little higher than your apex, 2) believe it, and 3) work towards it.

Ok, to be honest, it doesn't sound that profound when you summarize it, but he explains it much better (trust me).

Watch the interview here.
