Building software atop LLMs means outsourcing key decisions to the language model—but they're incredibly problematic. This core challenge defines agentic engineering.

Karpathy's take on NanoClaw amid agent orchestration challenges:

• Lighter design: Spins up Docker per message for security and isolation.
• Core...

Karpathy candidly agrees LLMs are messy, non-deterministic, and produce bad code—yet deems this a perfectly fine point, mirroring other realities in software development.
