I can't help but think in 3-5 years how quaint our tools of the day will seem.
- achompas 9y agoI think about this constantly. Not to sound like I walked uphill in both directions back in my day or something, but I remember building models in numpy without pandas. It was tedious -- and that's just a nice API wrapping ndarrays!

- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoMost likely, gradient descent with momentum.
- farazbabar 9y agoOh boy, that and perturbation.
- jimbokun 9y agoI’m not so sure. You can make an argument current tools haven’t really surpassed a Lisp Machine for developer productivity, or a SmallTalk environment.
- noobermin 9y agoNot really. I see things like leftpad and npm fails and CEOs mailing private keys they've stored from customers. I see the same lessons we have have to re-learn year after year.
