Every day spent learning JAX is also another day spent not trying to fit a round peg into a square hole of other libraries. I made the leap when I was doing things that were painful in pytorch. In terms of time, I think I came out ahead.

Not everything is a nail, and pytorch is better for some things, an jax is better for others. "Every day spent learning the screwdriver is a day spent not using your hammer."

Totally agree! Always a cost/benefit analysis to consider, so it's nice to hear that it was worth it for someone who made the jump.
