Zeiss - lenses both in analogy and irl

ASML - cameras

Silicon - film

TSMC - film house (manufacturing, color correction, managing storerooms, mastering, distribution brokering with theaters)

Taiwan - Hollywood with just the right climate for talent and business

Fabless chip firms - movie studios

Chip designers - writers

Specialized modular chip IP - actors

… the analogies really break down from there…

Are software engineers the ad agencies and the code execution just the generation of value by playing the movie for people???
