The article discusses the importance of using programming libraries like NumPy for efficiency and elegance in coding. It explains that while learning new frameworks or libraries may be burdensome, the benefits outweigh the costs. Using NumPy for simple calculations can result in faster outputs compared to manually written code due to its maximum parallelization capabilities. The article also suggests using other high-level libraries like PyTorch and Deepgram for specific tasks such as building neural networks or creating automated speech recognition models.
