Noyce! This is 21st century if I ever saw it, and I tip my hat to thee.

I know you’re probably intending to say “nice” with an accent. But given the context I can’t help but also think of Bob Noyce, an engineer’s engineer. See https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a12149389/robert-noyce...

It was intended as both actually: a sloppy imitation Australian accent, as well as a nod to Mr. Noyce. There are very few occasions where the two intersect so nicely.

You don't think it's safer to assume that this was an intended pun? Bob Noyce is pretty well heard of here. Neverheless, very Noyce of you to link the article.
