Summary

The current state of this blog (with the last post 2 years ago) makes it look like I’ve disappeared. I’ve certainly become less active on blogs since I’ve joined Tesla, but whenever I do get a chance to post something I have recently been defaulting to doing it on Medium because it is much faster and easier. I still plan to come back here for longer posts if I get any time, but I’ll default to Medium for everything short-medium in length. TLDR Have a look at my Medium blog .

What This Teaches

• How Karpathy frames technical judgment, learning, research, or AI systems in long-form prose.
• Useful as a high-signal idea source for research taste, project framing, and agent workflow design.

Why It Matters

Karpathy’s posts often crystallize reusable heuristics; this wiki should preserve the ideas without relying on chat memory.
