Karpathy: “I’ve never felt this much behind as a programmer. And I’ve been doing this for 20 years.”
I’ve watched hundreds of AI talks. This keynote from the man who built Tesla Autopilot and co-founded OpenAI is the one I wish every developer had seen before writing another line of code.
He calls what’s happening a “magnitude 9 earthquake.” Here’s the part nobody expected to hear:
in November he was 80% manual + 20% AI. by December: flipped to 80% AI + 20% manual that shift took him 30 days “2025-2035 is the decade of agents” the rules of programming are changing faster than our habits
Right now the average developer opens Claude, types something, gets an answer, closes the tab.
they think they’re using AI. they’re using maybe 10% of it.
I went through everything he described and built 21 rules that actually change how Claude codes for you. the file that started this hit #1 on GitHub with 82,000 stars. coding accuracy from 65% to 94%.
