Researchers Versus Deep Learning Engineers

Researchers in the 90s Deep learning engineers in 2020s Implement the entire model in custom highly optimised C code There isn't a pre-trained model for that

The meme compares a muscular Doge representing 1990s researchers with a frail Doge representing deep learning engineers in the 2020s. The joke is that older researchers are portrayed as capable of implementing an entire model from scratch in optimized C, while modern engineers supposedly rely on pre-trained models and lack one for unusual tasks. It is used as a humorous reaction to changing software and machine-learning practices.
