Birth of Silicon Valley and the Traitorous 8

Eight employees, Sheldon Roberts, Eugene Kleiner, Victor Grinich, Jay Last, Julius Blank, Jean Hoerni, Robert Noyce, and Gordon Moore started working for Shockley Semiconductor Labs started by William Shockley – The Godfather of the Transistor.

Soon the eight realized that Shockley had an authoritarian style of management and the eight reached out to Arnold Beckman and requested a new management. But due to lack of fulfillment of the desired proposal the eight decided to resign. They reached out to Arthur Rock for a company who would hire the eight of them together. Arthur suggested them to start on their own company and requested Sherman Fairchild a wealthy entrepreneur to invest in the newly founded startup by the eight engineers.

Fairchild Semiconductor was soon established in Mountain View. Soon the company grew from twelve employees to twelve thousand employees and had a valuation of 130 million dollars of annual revenue.

After Fairchild passed over Noyce for CEO promotion, Noyce and Moore decided to leave and reached to Arthur Rock again. Rock helped them raise 2.5 million dollars for their new company soon to be established, Intel Corporation.

Most well known companies today like CISCO, INTEL, ORACLE, AMD, NVDIA and many more, was born out of the Traitorous 8 and the humble beginnings laid by Shockley Semiconductors and Fairchild Semiconductors.

Is React Native Garbage ?

Well we shall look into two different scenarios inorder to understand this fully. Scenario 1. Company like Google or Apple who wants to release an app and wants real crazy fast app load, wants better control over hardware and does not much care about the cost of hiring teams of native developers for different platforms. This is the case when one should opt for Native code bases like Java or Swift. Now lets look at our next Scenario. Scenario 2. A startup wants to grow crazy fast. It has cost constraint but wants to reach the consumer base of both web, ios and android. In such a scenario, the startup settles down with a framework like React Native and does not bother if the app loads up a little slow, and serves its purpose of getting to the larger audience faster with a bunch of Javascript Developers. So, nothing is garbage. Its just two different scenarios and different priorities based on Business demand.
