Correction on "How This Old Dog Changed His Spots at 38"
Good morning. Please note that there’s a correction in yesterday’s “Old Dog” essay.
In the following paragraph, I incorrectly stated that Andy Grove was “Intel’s founder.” Andy was not an original founder; he served as Intel’s CEO in the late 80s and 90s and helped usher in and drive the PC industry with Intel’s microprocessors. The corrected version now reads:
”Intel’s CEO Andy Grove—Holocaust survivor, PC revolution architect—ran the company with an iron fist and a guiding principle: “Only the paranoid survive.”
Brief history for more context:
Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore co-founded Intel in 1968 and soon brought Andy Grove on board as their third employee. Both Noyce and Moore were industry legends: Noyce co-invented the integrated circuit, a revolutionary technology foundational to modern electronics, and Moore made the seminal observation known as ‘Moore’s Law’—that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years—shaping the semiconductor and computer industries for decades. But it was Andy Grove, as CEO, who turned Intel into a dominant microprocessor powerhouse that drove and shaped the PC industry in the 1990s.

It was my first real test at Intel, and I dreaded it worse than a root canal: my first annual performance review.
