Sanjiv has a piece in Electronic Design called "Ode to the Chip Synthesis Hero" about an engineer "who took one
design, cut down the time, saving a dime and inspired a rhyme!"
I'm afraid I don't think it's going to win any poetry awards, here's the first part:
Today he’s gonna make it to the top
And be the Chip Synthesis Hero, silicon in his sight
He took one mega design, placed the gates, cut the time
Chip Synthesis Hero, he got it right.
