After living in Southern Taiwan for the last 8 years, I couldn't agree more with your overall sentiment. An untouched beautiful place with incredible people. Check out the work of the digital minister, Audrey Tang, an incredible background and mission.
I would love to get back there sometime soon. A week obviously barely scratched the surface. It seems like everywhere one looks in Taiwan there are visionaries building something the West will try to copy in a decade's time, if we're so lucky.
Yeah the importance of TSMC is almost unknown outside of a few tech nerds and investors, yet their labs are far and away the single most important pieces of infrastructure in the entire world economy. I knew this before I left, so it ended up being everything else they're doing that blew me away.
