3. I talked with a bunch of devs, and also a few non-dev folks on teams.
Everyone I met felt like a mix of positive, focused, confident and chill. "Boomeranging" to NVIDIA seems common (met a dev who did 1 year at NVIDIA, left to start a startup, then came back 6 years ago).
Average tenure seems high. Switching teams easy, and the manager I talked with is someone who invests in people (as in taking on ppl on the team without in-depth expertise in what they do [build AI agents] knowing folks learn quickly.)
2. Inside HQ, Codex and other AI startups have dedicated offices where they hold office hours for NVIDIA employees. Never seen anything like this!
I assume because no other large tech company is the kind of "platform" for so much of the tech industry like NVIDIA. The Codex team is v popular here btw as I heard!
