What an end to an era. It's crazy to think she started this journey at 18 and now finished 5 years later. Not many people believed they would be able to make the GPU work in Asahi linux. Kinda curious what her "Onto the next challenge!" link means. Is she working for Intel Xe-HPG next?

Yes I think so. Her resume says she started working for Intel on open source graphics driver this month.

Too bad it was not Apple who hired her for M4, but in business leaders are always the most closed ones.

Thanks Jesus it's Intel and not Apple, Intel has been extremely good at working upstream and has immense contributions in the Linux kernel, mesa, and elsewhere. Wasting such talent on Apple would make the world worse for us all.

Why? Apple makes good products. It seems, unlike Intel.

Apple hiring her would essentially prevent her from doing it again on other models keeping the moat intact
