Andrej Karpathy, Tesla’s former AI director and OpenAI cofounder, has once again stirred the tech world with a bold claim—programming has fundamentally changed in just two months, and it’s “nowhere near business as usual” anymore. In a detailed post on X, Karpathy wrote that coding agents “basically didn’t work before December and basically work since.” The shift, he said, isn’t the gradual kind the industry is used to. It’s abrupt, disruptive, and already reshaping how software gets built.

To make his point, Karpathy shared a weekend project. He asked an AI agent to set up a video analysis dashboard for his home cameras—logging into a server, configuring SSH keys, downloading and benchmarking an AI model, building a web UI, and writing a full report.
