RIP – Andy Grove

Andy Grove died yesterday at age 79. He was a very influential person in the world of computing. He was one of the first employees at Intel 1968 and was the guy who was also responsible for the development of the 386 and Pentium chips seen as pivotal in the history of the modern PC. But he was also known for working from a cubicle alongside his workers instead of a corner office, and not having a flashy car or allowing executive washrooms. That earned him massive amounts of respect. If you want to find out more about him, I suggest that you read Only The Paranoid Survive as that will give you all sorts of insight on someone who literally built this industry.

He will be missed.
