Totally agree, at least anecdotally. Working in ML for a large company has really tested my liking for programming. The amount of plumbing/testing/code reviewing needed just to get a tiny feature usable for a ML model is absurd. Taking 6 months to push one model improvement is really draining. The pay's nice though.
