  Why do you think I brought him up? AMD needs someone like Jim Keller but for software.

    Who the hell is the Jim Keller of software? I don't think Dave Cutler is the right comparison, although they're both pretty fucking awesome.

    > Why do you think I brought him up? AMD needs someone like Jim Keller but for software. If there will be a JK for software, I'd say if he lands in a typical dotcom, half of the dev team with careers typical to Facebook/Amazon/Google will be relieved of their duties in a week.

      They'd never hire him. Too old.

  Jim Keller didn't design Zen.
