For all his faults, I do feel for Jensen. He built this thing from an absolute scratch. He had a lot of luck on the way, from crypto to CUDA. And who can forget his spat with Jobs all those years ago.

Nvidia eventually had a spat with just about any corporation it has ever worked with. Their only partnership that stood the test of time is probably Nintendo.

He worked at Dennys in Portland for a while, so... He can always lean on that experience if needed.

This is undoubtedly the most painful professional moment in his career which has been almost entirely Nvidia.

Why? He caused this. He chose to have affairs with a spy and a subordinate. Now he has to deal with the consequences.

Me too. If he needs somebody to take his place he can reach me at my HN profile page. I'll take the bullet and try to struggle through with just billions of dollars.

I feel for his wife, personally

Not to hate but he didn't build any GPU tech really.. He just came up with the name "GPU" (like CPU but with a G").

Wonder if he'll enjoy his retirement or end up like Marlo Stanfield at the end of The Wire.

Pretty sure all those nVidia employees over the years had a bigger hand in building it.

I, too, feel for the billionaire adulterer.

He is hoarding dozens of billions of dollars. He does not need your feelings, he needs a wealth tax.
