From the humble 2N2222 hiding in your TV remote to the billions of nano-scale MOSFETs inside your laptop's CPU, "all transistors" share the same DNA. They are the gatekeepers of the digital age.
The name was a joke, really. A memorial. He was going to build a single, functioning logic gate—a NAND gate, the mother of all computation—using one of every transistor ever commercially manufactured . Not a simulation. Not a diagram. A physical, soldered, breathing circuit. alltransistors
Next time you are designing a circuit, take a moment to appreciate the nuance between the BJT and the FET. Choosing the right one is the difference between a project that sizzles and a project that fizzles. From the humble 2N2222 hiding in your TV
