you're complaining about a free, open source project. your contributions are welcome

I get the sentiment, but how many people can just casually add OpenCL to Tensorflow? For a lot of people, even if talented programmers, they may not be able to do anything but ask and beg.

My webcam doesn’t work with Linux. Should I write a driver despite not knowing the kernel API, C, or how webcams even work?

I would be better off sponsoring development somehow — this is something I’ve wondered if it’s possible to do. Someone with the skills could be paid by me, and other affected users.

Asking nicely would help. Offering to pay someone to put in the work would be even better.
