He's a pretty decent programmer.
It's interesting that some months ago when his nanochat project came out the HN Anti-AI crowd celebrated him saying "I tried to use claude/codex agents a few times but they just didn't work well enough at all and net unhelpful, possibly the repo is too far off the data distribution"
But now it is working for him he's suddenly not an expert...
What you’re calling the “crowd” was not the same people. Every time someone makes a claim like yours, I go and check and don’t see the same usernames in the conversation. “Different people have different opinions and different ways to express them” isn’t really an insight; it tells us nothing nor does it make anyone worthy of criticism.
You can’t, in an honest argument, lump different strangers into a group you invented to accuse them of duplicity or hypocrisy.

Or maybe he didn't lie then but is lying now?
