does that sound reasonable?
if every entrepreneurial team set a goal that they only knew in advance how to achieve, do you think humanity would be where it is today?
we make brave decisions to set out to achieve something *even though* we do not know how to achieve it. that's how innovation works! you have the condidence and the strength of spirit to face obstacles as they come up, to work around them and often have to make brave decisions to abandon a particular path that's just not working out, and go back to the drawing board and try again.
it's that repeated systematic effort to reach the goal that, ultimately, makes success possible. it's certainly not achieved by waiting until you know everything there is to know! certainly not on something as complex as a 3D CPU / GPU / VPU.
which reminds me, to take the opportunity to thank both the OpenPOWER Foundation and XDC2020 for the opportunity to present at their respective conferences (and to Phoronix for this article). the conversations that i had online with the participants have been exceptionally rewarding and engaging: i was very surprised to find that "online" conferences could be actually better than "real-life" ones in that regard.
