Andrej Karpathy

Andrej Karpathy, former Director of AI at Tesla, Inc. and early researcher at OpenAI, has recently sparked discussion in the tech world with his views on the future of software development. He describes a “phase shift” in engineering where developers increasingly rely on AI systems to generate and manage code, a trend he has referred to as “agentic engineering.” Karpathy notes that as AI tools become more capable, traditional coding practices are evolving rapidly, reshaping how software is built and how engineers work.
