Throwback Thursday for 2024-07-04
Throwback Thursday review of past predictions & news coverage, Micron's enduring tech legacy highlighted.
Throwback Thursday for 2024-07-04
Throwback Thursday will likely become a format based upon Fudge Sunday Weekly newsletter sections for “Shot and Chaser”. Basically, this is a look back at a prior prediction or past news coverage and how that worked out in the present.

Past examples of “Shot and Chaser” included embedding content from Twitter (as it was known at the time) in the form of a specific tweet. As I come across Twitter URLs in my newsletter archive, I am finding that the change in Twitter ownership, degradation of URLs (link rot), and the transition between different newsletter platforms has made much of this content difficult or, sadly, impossible to follow.
For example, if you were to look back 40 years press coverage, you’d probably not bat an eyelash for the impact of one company on the current underpinnings of A.I. fervor today.
Micron - While it might seem like it has been 40 years, Micron has been a fixture in technology for decades since and decades to come. Recent commentary on HBM alone is just the latest story in the history of this amazing company.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
