Apparently ASML's internal processes are a mess, with everything consistently blocked by technical debt. I suspect this is the biggest blocker to their ability to scale their production faster.

this makes me wish I were like the Harvey Keitel character in Pulp Fiction, so I could straighten my tie, say "I'm on it", and hop into my vintage Mercedes convertible to go fix it.

It’s a Honda and it’s not a convertible. Memory is strange.

US model, so it was an Acura NSX. Don't know if the one in the film had it, but some years of the NSX had a removable targa top.

Frustrating your consumers by not being able to supply their orders is how you stop being a monopoly. Eventually your backlog is long enough that it becomes worth your clients figuring out how to do what you do in-house, or a startup spots an opportunity. Being oversubscribed is a nice position to be in, but it doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels. (Plus, even if you're hitting your profit targets, leaving a boatload of money on the table has gotta be frustrating for at least some of ASML's employees and insiders).
