Just finished "Only the Paranoid Survive", and have a few thoughts about current day Intel

Huawei could have bought SMIC if they wanted to take on TSMC. Huawei is all about short cuts.
Huawei is a military-excution style culture company which is also hated by many in China.
Huawei is the only one company in China which actually went through the IBM lotus notes and domino ERP in 1990 which is really not friendly to the user. It's very hard to use and no other company can tolerate it.

They are one of the first to push for 996 (9am to 9pm and 6 days per week) .
Technology is a marathon—when others are already miles ahead, the only way to catch up is to train harder and longer than anyone else.
They do pay well especially by Chinese standards.

I disagree. Hard work is necessary. But never sufficient. You have to do something different to change the rules to overtake. Creative innovation matters. You almost never see dramatic lead changes in marathon races - when someone goes off the front, they almost always stay ahead and win. Technology isn't like that - there are sometimes opportunities to change the rules or techniques mid race.
