Methods of Prosperity 42: Jensen Huang.
The year is 1993. Location? Denny’s restaurant in San Jose, California, on Berryessa Road. Denny’s at 2484 Berryessa Rd offers breakfast all day. This Denny’s is famous for something else, and it’s not the Super Bird sandwich. This Denny’s has a famous corner booth.
Sitting at a corner booth we find Jensen Huang. With him is Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, meeting to discuss their project. “Creating a chip that would enable realistic 3D graphics on personal computers”. This Denny’s was the birthplace of a company ahead of its time.

Drop a link below if you're also doing this! Would love to follow along.

Is the paragraph dashboard toggles for published / drafts / archives etc not working for others? They all just show the same view for me
This is cool.
Would you use this on Paragraph, as a reader or writer?
