I have friends here in the Austin area who have worked for AMD. From what I’ve heard from them, it’s not that AMD doesn’t care, it’s that AMD is clueless and hopelessly disorganized, and they’re constantly doing whatever they can to chase the latest supercomputing contract, to the exclusion of all else.

It’s a target-rich environment if you want to learn all the bad anti-patterns, so that you can avoid doing them in the rest of your career.

So, it’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they don’t have enough hours in the every-day-is-a-hair-on-fire-day that they would be capable of caring.
