"I think if the company was selling breakfast cereal, a lot of them would retire, but they're making what they believe to be the single most important technology of all time"
"I can't leave now ... I just can't not be working with this technology. It's like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Nvidia’s GPU development was gradual and risky, built in a Field of Dreams fashion without immediate customers. Long-dated technological investments often require buffers to allow time for value realization.
