The Right Tool For The Job: From Crescent Wrenches To AI Infrastructure
Micron, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025
Let me start with a story. Years ago, I was fixing the irrigation system in my yard. I was working to remove a sprinkler head, so I grabbed an adjustable-sized wrench even though I needed a fixed-size wrench. It worked - sort of.
I got the sprinkler head off, but the wrench slipped repeatedly, scarring the head and ultimately, cutting my left index finger and leaving a scar on my hand because I didn't have a fixed-size wrench. With the right tool, the job would've been faster, cleaner and a lot less painful.
That lesson came back to me this year at FMS. As I walked the show floor and joined panel discussions, I noticed a shift in the way people were talking about AI infrastructure.
