Keras vs PyTorch
This article echoes my experience as well. I was working on some core NLP models for a larger tech company and wanted to experiment with Keras. I had my models designed within a day and training done within another and had amazing model perf.I was also told that doing it the real way using Tensorflow would be the way to go and I agree with that sentiment if my problem was Google scale which it wasn't. In fact I would argue that most workloads around the world are not Google scale and neither are most Google workloads.This attitude of "real deep learning engineers use Tensorflow" is an unhelpful way of saying "I agree that the API is unreadable but I've invested so much time in the ecosystem that I'll refuse to see its usability problems". Kind of reminds me of assembly programmers that thought C wasn't for l33t 10xx pwner programmers.
