Every few months I enter the following query into Google: "Tensorflow sucks" or "f*** Tensorflow", hoping to find like-minded folk on the internet. Unfortunately, although Tensorflow has been around for about two years, I still cannot find a bashing of Tensorflow that leaves me fully satisfied. Although I suppose it's possible I might be asking the wrong search engine, I think there's a different force at work here: Google envy. The phenomenon known as "Google deep envy" is the following set of assumptions made by engineers across the world: Let's leave our assumptions behind us for now and give Tensorflow an honest look. When Tensorflow first came out, we were promised an end to the endless nightmare of poorly designed or poorly maintained deep learning frameworks.
