@dakshgup I'd argue that's karpathy but in a good way

@dakshgup In the next podcast, he will say that he uses telepathy with Claude and it just works. While rest of us will continue to steer Claude to do the correct thing for the 99th time.

not that they aren’t good necessarily but sometimes i feel like i’d get more done if my workflow wasn’t changing as much
