In a new No Priors podcast episode, Andrej Karpathy reveals he went from 80% writing his own code to 0% since December 2025, spending 16 hours a day directing AI agents instead. He describes living in a constant state of 'AI psychosis' where the line between building and orchestrating has dissolved. The r/ClaudeAI thread (812 upvotes, 251 comments) shows community-wide resonance with developers experiencing the same shift away from direct coding.
