Karpathy really seems to have discovered there are a lot of hours in the day now he doesn't work for Tesla

He was doing this kind of stuff while he was at Tesla too - https://github.com/karpathy/cryptos

Pretty sure he wrote this while working at Tesla also

Not only him. The tech boom in the past decade made a lot of great programmers rich, and it is a good thing. Looking also at how Aras Pranckevicious (of the Unity fame) is now contributing to Blender. (Also to some extents Rui (for mold fame) and Raph Levien (for xi editor fame), although not certain about their financial standing).

This implementation is quite old now actually - although I agree, it certainly seems that way otherwise :)
