He worked on TensorFlow. So even if the doesn't do ML research himself, at least he works on the tooling.

Of course he is someone any technology organisation would want to have as a resource. But probably not as chief scientist or ceo of an ML company based on the available evidence

TensorFlow was honestly not that good. It had a lot of effort put into it, so it worked, but there are reasons people moved away from it.

I think Jeff Dean is a great engineer, but I wouldn't hold up TensorFlow as a great example.

I always thought he pair programmed so it's been Jeff + Sanjay.

Why wasn’t tensorflow good?

I started my ML journey in TensorFlow, and now I am a happy PyTorch user, for many years.

TensorFlow, yuck

But who uses TensorFlow -- really -- these days.

Google does almost exclusively; it's tied in to TFX.
