@blte+18MupMv5 Intel will end up being the first and only company JK quit out of disgust and without finishing a major project.
At the group meeting I attended during which Keller spoke, he spent a good portion of the time showing us how to give a presentation. He was visibly agitated (more than when he walked in) with the the quality of information he was fed from fellows, srPEs, directors... our "technical leaders." What I got from the talk was that too many of our technical leaders collect slides, present them as their own, don't do any real work, and get paid a lot.
Only Keller knows why he left Intel. If I had to bet, he just just realized how broken the company is and walked away. He had this mantra, "if you don't do it, I'll find someone who will." What I think is unfortunate is that every common manager thinks they sound cool quoting him.

Ha, well Maybe it was for personal reasons, like how he personally disagrees with how intel runs (Diversity, carbon footprint, no focus on actual business), as well I did hear there were family health issues as well, why not both.
Personally really miss Jim and loved to hear him disrupt during all the quarterlies he gave. Tenstorrent got a hell of a hire.
