Yeah honestly I’m dumbfounded why all these years AMD still doesn’t have an internal “code red” and get their developer experience up to par with CUDA.

- jstummbillig 1y agoYes. Why is that? Somebody here must have an informed opinion. It seems ludicrous, but also too obvious. What's up?
- stingraycharles 1y agoI found their acquisition of Xilinx (the FPGA company) to predict that they were going all in on a uniform FPGA / GPU / AI ecosystem, but… that didn’t seem to have yielded any integration benefits? I’m genuinely dumbfounded by what’s up at AMD at this point.
- elteto 1y agoIt seems that AMD, like many other companies, doesn’t “get” software. It’s a cost-center, a nuisance, not really hard engineering, the community will take care of that, etc. It’s pretty ironic.

- stingraycharles 1y agoMan if that is anything close to the truth, it would explain a lot and be pretty depressing. It would imply leadership doesn’t understand software at all, and considers it a liability rather than an asset.
