Why needed
The research established that Karpathy's first-year Stanford rotations included Andrew Ng — who is independently famous for democratizing ML education via Coursera and deeplearning.ai. The Education and Teaching section attributes Karpathy's pedagogical principles to his own artifacts (cs231n, micrograd, nanoGPT) but has not examined whether his Ng rotation or any other advisor relationship shaped those principles. Is there any documented statement from either Karpathy or Ng about this connection, or any identifiable influence of Ng's teaching style on Karpathy's approach?
