I wonder how long that guy stayed at Apple afterwards, does anyone know?

Why wouldn't he stay? If the decision was technically correct and he may be able to talk to Carmack directly to ask for advice, that would be a rare opportunity to learn.

Edit: oh wait, you're probably asking about the Engineering Directory, not Jim Black.

Jim Black's facebook page says he's VP at Magic Leap, so this must be him:

Looks like this was during his second stint at Apple, where he stayed for just 1 year, before going to NVIDIA for 16 years.

He did have a previous stint at Apple from 1992-1997, so 5 years.
