In the past decade, they have made 45 million Raspberry Pis while improving on the original’s performance 40X!!! Learn top tips about building great hardware (it is called hard for a reason) and why you need 10 domain experts, $1 million dollars, and a risk appetite to ⚙️ power the creations of millions of people. Listen to find out: - Why technical leaders with multiple demands on their time should stay away from the code ?‍? - Why do they no longer manufacture hardware in the Far East ? - What will outdated semi-conductor manufacturing facilities ? be used for? - How they are handling the supply chain disruptions ? and the conflict in Eastern Europe (e.g. bot scalping, rerouting, prioritization). P.S. If you like gambling - try the semi-conductor industry.
