I want robust, packaged setups (docker, AWS, whatever) to be cheap/free, accessible, and work out of the box with no end-user setup.
I am getting into DL myself and very excited about the potential, but I have spent literally 5 hours on setup (python and DL-specific AWS Ubunut instance) and have gotten exactly nowhere. Version conflicts, iPython not working in venv, dependency mismatches where many people built demos I want to use on python 2.7 that don't work with my 3.5 setup, can't get matplotlib to display graphs over X11/remote ssh, etc, etc, etc. So frustrating.
I want programmers to be able to one-button setup a DL machine so they can start tinkering and not wasting time on setup/dependencies/bugs.
