Andrej Karpathy: Software Is Changing (Again)

Fast code generation can leave human review as the limiting step. AI researcher Andrej Karpathy argues in this talk that an agent producing a huge change instantly is not especially useful if someone must still check every part for mistakes. The workflow Karpathy describes uses small, concrete changes and rapid review so generation and verification advance together. Watch the talk.

That also shapes product design: an AI application should help people inspect its work and choose how much autonomy to grant. Clear visual representations and reviewable intermediate results can make oversight less burdensome. In this view, the product's value depends partly on how efficiently a person can judge the generated work. See the verification discussion.
