r/artificial - Looking forward to this - Neural Networks from Scratch

The goal is most certainly not to be "efficient." It'd be silly to try to compete with the already very robust DL libraries out there. The purpose of this course is to learn about the inner-workings of DL so that you can actually understand what you're doing rather than blindly putting blocks together and not understanding how to make it better or why it's not working. I don't claim to be an expert at really anything, and I'd rather have a teacher that didn't, but I've also never blown smoke about what we'd be doing. There are definitely some topics that I have covered that I am just "playing around" with. When that's been true, I've said so and been very clear/upfront about it.
