How does one develop a package like FastAi using Jupyter notebook? For instance, doing unit testing, automatic documentation generation, etc. I believe it was mentioned that Jeremy has many little scripts that does all that based on this podcast

While you are working on FastAI library, how do you keep track of developments in other libraries like Tensorflow? Do you find the number of frameworks out there overwhelming?

Do you have a favorite architecture for resource-constrained environments?

Would you just use a smaller Resnet? Or is there another architecture you prefer when you need to do inference really quickly?

Hi Jeremy
How to retrain my model after creating it from a different dataset, on a new but few datasets and classes ??
For example, if I created a model with 5 classes and 50 data instances per class. Now I want it to retrain with new data and new class , say 5 data points of 6th class without training it from scratch (i.e without building a whole new databunch with all the data/classes) ??

Hi Jeremy,

What’s your typical day like? How do you manage your time across so many things that you do?

Thank You.

You mentioned you used to spend 50% of your time learning new things everyday since you were 18. Now you spend 90% of your time doing that. My brain gets toasted after 2 hours of focusing with intensity. Any tips on how you do that for such longer hours?
