Karpathy's 11-month tone shift: from coining vibe coding to feeling far behind
IgorCarron · x · 2026-09-24
Igor Carron contrasts Karpathy's trajectory: in Feb 2025 he casually coined "vibe coding"; by Dec 26 he admitted "I never felt this much behind as a programmer." Alongside, Hesamation shifted from "a cognitive Copernican revolution" six months ago to "LLMs are just guessing the next word" two weeks ago. Not necessarily contradictory, but a clear tone shift among leading voices.
