Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder, Dies at 94

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 24, 2023 – Intel and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation announced today that company co-founder Gordon Moore has passed away at the age of 94.

The foundation reported he died peacefully on Friday, March 24, 2023, surrounded by family at his home in Hawaii.

Moore and his longtime colleague Robert Noyce founded Intel in July 1968. Moore initially served as executive vice president until 1975, when he became president. In 1979, Moore was named chairman of the board and chief executive officer, posts he held until 1987, when he gave up the CEO position and continued as chairman. In 1997, Moore became chairman emeritus, stepping down in 2006.

I’ve been enjoying a show from the Magnolia network called The Craftsman. It’s mainly about woodworking but his philosophy applies to many professions; including software development and generally running a business that is build to last.

The Craftsman

I have learned a bunch from the show and can apply those lessons to everyday life, software development and my other hobbies.

As a bonus, the narration includes some great storytelling. The whole show is really well done.
