Andrej is a great communicator. I've never seen evidence that he is an especially exceptional programmer.

  This is a ridiculous statement. It's possible he isn't an absolutely amazing programmer*, but given he's probably in the top 0.01% in terms of implementing novel (and often groundbreaking) ideas via programming and that he finds AI-assisted programming tools useful, it suggests AI-assisted programming is now more than just a CRUD code monkey assister. *(it's also possible he is)

  Between his roles at companies he's worked for, his research and his open source stuff, what else would you be looking for lol ? Remove all the educator stuff and karpathy would still be one of the most accomplished of his generation in his field. Idk just seems like a weird comment.

    Research contributions are almost entirely separate from engineering quality. This is true for the vast vast vast majority of work people do in grad school.
