    Nvidia is one of the most valuable companies on earth. But it still does not manufacture its own chips. Its future depends on a company in Taiwan that makes the chips, and a company in Veldhoven that makes the machines needed to make them. This is the hidden supply chain behind

    Leaving Meta and PyTorch I'm stepping down from PyTorch and leaving Meta on November 17th. tl;dr: Didn't want to be doing PyTorch forever, seemed like the perfect time to transition right after I got back from a long leave and the project built itself around me. Eleven years

    Just signed a 7-figure deal with a Fortune 10 company! More than the dollars, the fact that we are going to work with them to rearchitect their entire hiring process on skills over pedigree helping thousands of developers get a fair shot at the job is exciting and inspiring! 🎉

    It’s been 12 years since I moved to the Bay Area. While I have visited India many times since then, it’s always been 1-2 weeks at best. Recently, I spent 3 months in Bangalore with my family and here’s what I observed as differences

    The most AI-native companies are the least AI-forward when it comes to hiring. For e.g., Anthropic's careers page literally used to say: "Please do not use AI assistance during the process." To be clear, I'm a big fan of Claude! A clip from my pod with @swyx @latentspacepod
