I'm incredibly impressed that you implemented the whole LSTM model in JavaScript [1] as well as Python. This indirectly gave me a lot of implementation insight, so thanks! [1]: https://github.com/indutny/gradtype&#

That take might be overly cynical. People who have a jack-of-all-trades skill set might not necessarily build the best components themselves, but might be able to bring some big-picture insight that more specialized developers don't ha

Regarding point A: How can you really date a person's writing style to be from pre-2010? Is there really a way to prove this? And why does that necessarily date the person writing it as a 35-50-year-old?

I was about 10 years old in the mid 2000s and much of what I knew about computers at that point were just about the use of weird software (like editing the config files of emulators) and some google-fu. When I was first introduced to Python
