Yeah, I'm liking it. It has strengths and weaknesses like every tool. The biggest advantages for me are:
- Dead easy to use.
- Very good for collaborations: You can set up teams or share reports.
- Good features for analyzing results: You can filter, group etc.
Disadvantages:
- The interface becomes slow when you've uploaded lots of runs to the same project. That's why I usually split runs into multiple projects depending on the hypotheses that I want to verify.
- Exporting data from the server is not trivial. Once you've figured it out though you can re-use your code.
The pros outweigh the cons for me.
I mark the expected duration of my experiments both in a google calendar as well as a project journal. That way, I know when it's "time" to check in on the runs.
I also use Weights & Biases, which sends me a mail if something crashes so I can check up when I really need to.
Curve watching is just a waste of time, you should train yourself to get out of the habit even if it's difficult for you.
The rebuttal period over the weekend is just a flat-out dick move by the organizers :(
I also love these "Why don't you run on super compute intensive benchmark X" type reviews.
