This makes sense, right? It's a relatively novel thing to be writing. I don't find it to be a damning remark like other comments here seem to be concluding.
If anything, the fact that Karpathy reached towards Claude/Codex in an attempt to gain value is indicative that, in previous coding efforts, those tools were helpful to him.
Yeah, if your goal is "build the tightest 8,000 line implementation of training an LLM from scratch, with a focus on both conciseness and educational value" I don't think it's particularly surprising that Claude/Codex weren't much help.
