> I actually ended up coding the hard stuff from scratch in matlab/julia I always find it easier to use and understand the higher level tools (like TensorFlow) once you've written your own rudimentary implementation from scratch. Most of my work is done Julia, and sometimes that code is fast enough that I don't have to use anything else.
