Meanwhile, I asked this morning Claude 4 to write a simple EXIF normalizer. After two rounds of prompting it to double-check its code, I still had to point out that it makes no sense to load the entire image for re-orientating if the EXIF orientation is fine in the first place.

Vibe vs reality, and anyone actually working in the space daily can attest how brittle these systems are.

Maybe this changes in SWE with more automated tests in verifiable simulators, but the real world is far to complex to simulate in its vastness.

What do you mean "meanwhile", that's exactly (among other things) the kind of stuff he's talking about? The various frictions and how you need to approach it

> anyone actually working in the space

Is this trying to say that Karpathy doesn't "actually work" with LLMs or in the ML space?

I feel like your whole comment is just reacting to the title of the YouTube video, rather than actually thinking and reflecting on the content itself.

I'm pretty sure "actually work" part refers to SWE space rather than LLM/ML space
