There are lots of technical people who don't understand what programming is.

You do know that this guy built up NVIDIA from scratch right? Before that, there was some action from 3DFX, but they fizzled and NVIDIA basically invented the modern GPU. He has at least a right to be a bit outlandish in his claims (a real founder CEO vs someone just hired to be CEO after the company was successful), and at least he isn’t Musk.

What does any of that have to do with the quote and my comment?

It’s doubtful that he doesn’t understand some amount of programming. It’s impossible to graduate from EE without a couple of programming quarters/semesters, and these people did invent CUDA and such.
