I'm sure he got a lot of info from Tesla. Isn't the next company going to be a little weary of hiring him?



You would think people would be skeptical. He just seems carefree. Click to expand...

He quit? Tesla said he was not a good fit, something that they would not have volunteered to the press if Chris Lattner had quit. They would have said something like, we are sorry to see him leave, etc.I actually was surprised at him going there in that position in the first place (and was roundly told by some Apple fanboys that he was a god and not to question).... since he has more experience in compilers, tools etc. but I could find no history of AI or Machine Learning (I could be wrong on that one). I have always been impressed with the work he did with regards to LLVM and it's creation, found him to be a little hard headed with regards to Swift direction -- and felt he might be a square peg with a history of being in icon at his existing company.... going into a round hole. So I am not surprised it did not work out, just surprised it was this quick.[doublepost=1498042129][/doublepost]I doubt he voluntarily "left".... he was just a bad fit and it took Tesla 6 months to figure it out.... does not mean that he would be a bad hire for another company in another position. There is no doubt that in certain areas he is very talented.[doublepost=1498042237][/doublepost]The company also commented on Lattner’s departure:“Chris just wasn’t the right fit for Tesla, and we’ve decided to make a change. We wish him the best.”[doublepost=1498042804][/doublepost]Worse case scenario, Tesla will be an interesting acquisition when another company perfects autonomous driving
