What is this "clerk" library he used at this timestamp to tell him what to do? https://youtu.be/LCEmiRjPEtQ?si=XaC-oOMUxXp0DRU0&t=1991

Gemini found it via screenshot or context: https://clerk.com/

This is what he used for login on MenuGen: https://karpathy.bearblog.dev/vibe-coding-menugen/

That blog post is a great illustration that most of the complexity/difficulty of a web app is in the hosting and not in the useful code.

clerk is an auth library - and finally one that doesnt require dozens of lines to do things like, i dont know, check if the user is logged in

and wild... you used gemini to process a screenshot to find the website for a 5 letter word library?

Not gemini but google lens. Maybe gemini already has some agentic capabilities
