Ahh yes, I'll be sure to let consults notes Distinguished Scientist at NVIDIA and adjunct professor at the University of Utah Peter Shirley that he's a second-stringer and not nearly "badass" enough for Hacker News commentator anon91831837 and he's wasting his life in the wrong field.

It is not like distinguished scientist credentials necessarily correlate with exceptional code quality or software development practices. And it is not like NVIDIA is particularly known to be a place that excels at such.
It's actually sad, his credentials suggest he's capable of a much better post than this...
Either the post is intended sarcastically, or there's something to learn from it.
