I'm sure Karpathy did a good job at Tesla to make self-driving cars - as good as anyone could have, anyway. But it's better for the world to have him back as a teacher/blogger/YouTuber/popularizer.
Can’t imagine the stress levels he had to endure at Tesla. Looking from the outside it seems totally worth it - he solved “the money problem” very young. Now he can do whatever the hell he wants and he keeps building because that’s what builders do. He’s such an inspiration.
I can't recommend enough this "backpropagation from scratch" from heremy howard (fastai) where he implementes backpropagation from scratch using python.
Karpathy is awesome and I love that he's doing this and going down this route. (Hope he doesn't get that "offer he can't refuse" like carmack predicted and keeps doing educational stuff for us all :).)
