I would rather say it like this: Very good, very hardworking engineers spent years of their lives building the machine that raised us from the non-determinism of messy physical reality. The technology that brought us perfect, replicable, and reliable math from sending electrons through rocks has been deeply underappreciated in the "software revolution".

The engineers at TSMC, Intel, Global Foundries, Samsung, and others have done us an amazing service, and we are throwing all that hard work away.
