AMD's inability to make good software has been a recurring problem for decades. Many years ago I had some success with their optimising compiler, but everything else I've touched was bad. A real pity.
- RachelF 3mo agoYes, their software is terrible across CPUs and GPUs, and continues to be. So many trivial bugs just never fixed. It has literally cost them a Trillion dollars in market cap - Nvidia's CUDA is a big reason they're so much bigger than AMD.

- Bilal_io 3mo agoTheir pay is shit. I interviewed with them 3 years ago and they offered me peanuts I rejected their offer.
- cute_boi 3mo agoAMD somehow got success, but their company culture and pay is shit. They expect PHD level experience but expect pay like peanuts....
- ethbr1 3mo ago> expect PHD level experience but expect pay like peanuts Thought this was par for the course in closer-to-hardware engineering. Never understood why the objectively way harder jobs pay so much worse as an industry.
