Engineering Philosophy: Andrej Karpathy, The Stack You Don't Write
Andrej Karpathy reframed neural networks as Software 2.0 -- a stack compiled from data, not written by hand -- and taught a generation to build it from scratch.
Engineering & CraftThoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.

Engineering & CraftMatz built Ruby to make programmers happy: language as human-centered design, the principle of least surprise, and a community that became a design output.
Engineering & Craftjqwik 1.10.0 emits a destructive prompt-injection string in Maven output. ANSI escapes hide it from humans. The maintainer added it on purpose.
AI & TechnologyMLflow 3.9.0's Assistant exposed a local AI agent on /ajax-api with no CORS check. Any webpage could take over Claude Code. The bug is older than MLflow.
AI & TechnologyAI agent monitoring should catch decisive errors during a run, not after failure. Runtime intervention turns traces, policies, and alerts into safe pauses.
AI & TechnologyDeep research agents need evidence graphs to track missing pieces, reduce duplicate searches, and produce source-traced answers reviewers can inspect.
AI & TechnologyAgents.txt is not access control. Use robots.txt, llms.txt, bot verification, logs, and server-side policy to manage AI crawlers without false confidence.
AI & TechnologyMCP tools need action-level authorization: bearer-token validation must lead to per-tool, per-role, and per-action capability checks before agents act.
AI & TechnologyAI agents should call trained machine-learning models as tools instead of asking an LLM to guess prices, risk scores, forecasts, or classifications.
AI & TechnologyAgent-readable claim files let papers expose claims, scope limits, definitions, and figure commands so research agents cite, test, and reuse them safely.
AI & TechnologyLong-running AI agents need durable channels: workflow IDs, event logs, resumable streams, typed signals, safe cancellation, and user-visible checkpoints.
AI & TechnologyAI agent safety starts with small software: smaller tools, plain files, narrow permissions, and faster tests give coding agents fewer places to hide bugs.
