      Our tech leans heavily on AS400s, if you can believe that. And we have 98% market share in our space. They’re complex, but they work, and don’t fail.

      Yeah but they don’t do anything anymore. They create nothing, they innovate nothing, they build nothing. They’re a “service company” now. It’s not at all a shock that they’re failing to anyone but them themselves. IBM should never have green lit that brainless brain drain shift of focus.

        Having worked for a couple chip design shops, and now at ibm… ibm is the one of a few companies pushing the envelope in chip design. You just don’t need what they make, so you’ve never heard of it.
