How is that relevant to the question of software development expertise?
It was a fun jab - as SGI famously tanked in the late 90s.
But SGI also had quite a lot of software, including their OS (IRIX), imaging and 3D modelling libs and tools, and this little thing called OpenGL.

SGI gave us NVidia
nah, that was Forest Basket
So decades ago he worked for a company that no one’s heard of, and which hasn’t existed for 16 years, and that means I should care what he thinks about vibe coding / modern software development why?
The whole resume just screams BS.
>decades ago he worked for a company that no one’s heard of
Err, SGI was one of the pillars of the industry.
Apparently not? A pillar is something that is structurally required.

You must be trolling? SGI is one of the legend companies of Silicon Valley.
Never heard of it. Maybe legendary among people over 50.
Regardless, he apparently was a just a PM there? For a year?
