If Huang Renxun had listened to his mother
and found a stable job

there might not be today's NVIDIA

In 1993
Huang Renxun, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem
were discussing entrepreneurship in a restaurant

At that time, the three of them had almost no resources
and just felt that
computer graphics would definitely explode in the future

Back then

the 3D graphics market was still very small
and companies could collapse at any time
In the previous years, they even came close to bankruptcy

Many people,
including family,
actually hoped he would find a stable engineering job

But if he really went to work

he might just be an ordinary engineer at some chip company
and the GPU architecture that later changed the industry would not have emerged
and there would be no computing power empire today that supports AI training

Now NVIDIA's market value
once exceeded that of giants like Microsoft and Apple

becoming one of the most important AI computing companies in the world
