Summary

I like deep neural nets.

What This Teaches

• How a complex idea can be compressed into a minimal but working implementation.
• Useful as a reference style for serious small systems rather than decorative demos.

Why It Matters

This matters as part of Karpathy’s broader pattern: compress hard technical systems into readable, inspectable, working artifacts.
