Chris Lattner Joins Google Brain

Is Google's work culture more like Apple or Tesla? Curious if this is likely to address whatever about Telsa wasn't keeping him happy. Or maybe it was more about the specific work he was tasked to do?

It's like neither, but probably pretty similar to the academic UIUC culture where LLVM got started. Having both worked at Google and followed Chris Lattner's work on LLVM since before he was at Apple, I suspect he'll be happier there than at Tesla.

I've worked at both Google and Apple. They're very similar, but in general with big tech companies there's more variation between teams than there is between companies on average.

From what I've heard from friends working in those 3 companies, Tesla is more like Apple, with Google being clearly different from both.
