When Hiro learned how to do this, way back fifteen years ago, a hacker could sit down and write an entire piece of software by himself. Now, that's no longer possible. Software comes out of factories, and hackers are, to a greater or lesser extent, assembly-line workers. Worse yet, they may become managers who never get to write any code themselves.

DRAM circuits were carved into silicon. They didn't need to be weaved by hand, so they malfunctioned

they began discussing how to standardize chip design. Why couldn't you program a machine to design circuits, they wondered. "Once you can write a program to do something," Mead declared, "you don't need anybody's tool kit, you write your own.

paving the way for computer programs to automate chip design.

The design is carved into silicon using some of the world's most precise machinery
