Whats insane is that AMD has been known for it's shit drivers for over a decade now...and nothing has happened to address this. Like surely everyone internally knows it, all the execs know it, the board knows it, investors know it...but somehow it has never been addressed.

At this point it's almost like it has to be intentional, like some perceived tradeoff ingrained in the culture that generates shit software.

They're underpaying their hardware engineers, and if they wanted to hire good software engineers they'd need to pay more, which would cause their hardware engineers to demand better pay too.


The price of underpaying their employees like this can be seen very clearly in their revenue graph.
