A misconception I see is that Keras is made or owned by me. I may have started it a long time ago, but nowadays I do very little compared to everyone else. keras-team/keras has 750 contributors, including a dozen of very active ones. The Keras repo exists thanks to them.

Another misconception I see is that I have a leadership position inside TensorFlow. I do not. I don’t actually make any important decisions with regard to TF, and never have. That’s the role of the TF leads, 5 people, of which I am not one.

In general, the TF team is quite large, with over 100 people (I think?), and none of them report to me. My scope is very narrow: looking at API changes within tf.keras, reviewing tf.keras code. That's really it.

One last misconception I see is that Keras is a TensorFlow wrapper library. In fact, Keras is an API standard for defining & training deep learning models, similar to what Gluon is to MXNet. Like Gluon, it's meant not to be tied to a specific implementation.

Keras has implementations in TensorFlow, MXNet, TypeScript, JavaScript, CNTK, Theano, PlaidML, Scala, CoreML, and others I think? But I have only been involved with tf.keras and the TensorFlow/Theano implementation.

Again, my scope when it comes to TensorFlow & Keras is very narrow. I’m just doing code review, looking at the tf.keras API. Sometimes I code. I do very little compared to everyone else, and hopefully I'll do even less in the future. I don’t enjoy the harassment on social media.

Your work is surely a great contribution to society in general and a key building block to many in this field. It's sad that you face harassment on social media. I don't usually write on twitter (perhaps I am part of the silent majority).
