From the article... "And even for highly technical aspects like deep learning, fast.ai has shown that people with 1-year of coding experience can become world-class deep learning practitioners; you don’t need to hire Stanford PhDs. "
- paulgb 9y agoThanks, I somehow missed that.
- Alex3917 9y agoWhy would you need more than a year of coding experience to learn deep learning? Isn't it mostly math? I wouldn't think that mastering advanced Python syntax or whatever would be the limiting factor for most people.

Using what I learned in the class, I am regularly able to finish in the top 20% on most Kaggle competitions. Just being able to solve some of those problems allows me to provide employers with major value.
