I am bookmarking this article, this is pure gold.

Also, it seems to me that most of what he says can be distilled into a boilerplate/template structure for any given deep learning framework, from which new projects can be forked - does this already exist?

Yes, it’s called http://fast.ai
lol, when he wrote

>> model = SuperCrossValidator(SuperDuper.fit, your_data, ResNet50, SGDOptimizer)

under "Neural net training is a leaky abstraction" my first thought was, this IS fastai's API

Fast.ai is nice, but not "a boilerplate/template structure for any given deep learning framework"
Allennlp is one such project for NLP. Uses dependency injection to separate out the components driving for maximum re-usability. https://github.com/allenai/allennlp
