NVIDIA engineer mourns Jensen Huang's resignation, recalls his unique 'speed of light' culture
JFPuget · x · 2026-11-13
An NVIDIA engineer based in France shared a personal tribute to Jensen Huang following news of his resignation. Despite being far from a top manager, he had multiple video calls with Huang, presented projects to him, and even received regular email replies — unusual at a company of that scale.
He highlights Huang's 'speed of light (SOL)' philosophy: achieving the absolute best possible under existing constraints, which goes far beyond mere execution speed. The author calls Huang's way of challenging people unique and hopes he will return, as seen at other AI companies. (Note: the resignation claim is unverified.)
