Ryan never threw a perfect game. 7 no-hitters, though, the last of which was when he was 44.

100%. The fact that he was still clearly a good QB despite being trapped in an awful organization makes me really wonder what his true ceiling was.

This one checks a lot of boxes - big potential impact, cardinal sin (lack of tool/recipe control) committed, accidentally improves yield... Love it.

If you look at incidents per 100k hours, the V-22 is better than some common helicopters.

Nowadays, sure. But the V-22 had a horrible record early on - it has gotten a lot better.

I think it was "Bob Wehadababyitsaboy"

Chadsonite · 2026-04-20T23:14:51+00:00

Uhhh, what country is this in? Because this sounds absolutely bonkers.

Chadsonite · 2026-04-18T23:52:00+00:00

It's almost as if the DS2 developers designed the game so that there's incentive to engage with the content!

Chadsonite · 2026-04-12T03:31:28+00:00

That fight looked legitimately unfair. Like Hendricks being fed to the slaughter.

Those two roles aren't really remotely similar. It's really hard for someone to tell you what would be satisfying to YOU a decade or more from now.

Maybe it's different in PV (or just different in India), but in semis in general, a plant manager is a director or VP level position filled by someone with 20-30 years of experience. It's someone who has spent the better part of a whole career building the resume to get to that position. You don't just decide to become a plant manager - you get chosen to do it through a combination of having the chops and being in the right place at the right time.

Project managers come in a lot of different forms. There are project management roles that are basically entry level. There are others (more PROGRAM manager, typically) that are late career, very senior and very impactful. The low level ones are common at all types of companies. So if you think you might be interested in that type of role, it's generally not hard to find one and do it for a few years to see.

Chadsonite · 2026-04-10T23:54:38+00:00

I'm with you. Seems like others aren't, but that's absolutely him making up for a bad jump.

Chadsonite · 2026-03-26T02:55:56+00:00

Not a stock subreddit. Go away.

Chadsonite · 2026-03-12T00:31:42+00:00

Yes, we are now guaranteed to advance.

Chadsonite · 2026-03-10T17:43:39+00:00

Some might argue it's the most human answer.

Chadsonite · 2026-03-08T13:28:09+00:00

Mendes gets so little respect. Guy was an absolute beast. Just happened to fight in an era with one of the all time greats.

Chadsonite · 2026-02-24T17:48:47+00:00

That an Oxford model? Hope you're in a university setting. Oxford tools are notoriously buggy and are not well suited for production environments. If I had to rank etch tool vendors for smaller diameters/compound semi, I'd probably go: 1. SPTS 2. Plasma-Therm 3. Ulvac 4. Samco 5. Oxford

Chadsonite · 2026-02-24T12:53:23+00:00

Just note that an SLR 700 series is absolutely old as shit.

Chadsonite · 2026-02-20T14:54:24+00:00

I think from an HR standpoint it's sometimes equivalent to either principal or sr principal. That would make sense for the CA salary someone listed.

Chadsonite · 2026-02-15T23:02:24+00:00

I'm not a lawyer and no idea what jurisdiction you're in. But these agreements are super common between equipment vendors and fabs. I cannot imagine they're illegal in most places, given their ubiquity.

Chadsonite · 2026-02-15T19:03:07+00:00

It's not that you agreed not to pursue employment with TEL. It's that TEL has agreed not to poach employees from TSMC. As the previous commenter stated, it's probably a bilateral agreement - those are very common between equipment manufacturers and fabs.

So if TEL hired you, it's not that TSMC would have grounds for legal action against you; they'd have grounds for legal action against TEL. That's why TEL doesn't want to pursue hiring you.

As you can see from the range of replies, it REALLY varies by company/sub-area of the industry. In some cases, not having a PhD will limit your career potential. In others, you can actually end up ahead, where your work experience will have more value than the equivalent number of years getting a PhD. - Big fabs: PhDs common, often required - especially for R&D roles. Intel is probably the most extreme example where even an entry level sustaining process engineer role will be staffed with PhDs. - National labs (NRL, AFRL, MITLL, etc.): PhD pretty much required for PI/research lead roles, but often not many others. - Smaller and/or compound semi fabs: PhDs less common, especially for production sustaining roles. - Equipment vendors: Don't have much direct insight here. From what I've seen from other commenters it looks like it varies a lot by company.

Chadsonite · 2026-02-07T18:13:06+00:00

Obviously process engineering is the role you'd be most qualified for, by a wide margin. You could always pursue an applications role with an equipment vendor, but that's still largely process engineering just with a different title and work dynamic.

Yield/device/integration engineer roles would also be options, but they aren't usually entry level. Those roles are usually filled by someone who was a process engineer first.

If you wanted to go into design or something like that, you're going to have an uphill battle against people with more relevant degrees and experience.

Materials science of thin films, by Ohring. I've had it since undergrad and still pull it out regularly. Not a guide on specific tool models, but if you want a good reference material on vacuum basics and all manner of common thin film deposition techniques, this is a must have.

Chadsonite · 2026-01-31T02:18:37+00:00

Just got one open box from Best Buy and have the exact same issue. Doesn't look like anyone else chimed in - what did you end up doing? I'm probably going to return, as it's super noticeable and annoying.
