1/ I’ve thought for many years that strong verbal skills probably contribute to strong coding skills. “Code should read like a book!” was something a mentor told me that really stuck. Perhaps surprisingly- I’m not great with math- especially linear algebra of all things.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1208079432373563392 …

Hmm, I'd say a solid understanding of linear algebra and calculus are required; it saves time in the long run to be able to identify what math is decoration and what is essential. Having access to lower level building blocks also allows for faster understanding, recall.

The risk of taking a code heavy approach, and I see this a lot, is you end up thinking in terms of frameworks instead of concepts. For example, rather than decomposing tasks in terms of Pytorch functions, or worse/higher--BERT--you ask, what is self-attention really doing?
