And then you realize that what you’re using the smaller models for is ALSO decomposable and part of it is just a few if statements, and then you realize that for this feature you don’t actually need or want a model because the performance, reliability, reproducibility are cheaper and better for you and your users.

Beyond that, a developer might go out and have a beer with you after work, which appeals to the sickos that have the gall to prioritize humanity over fanatical efficiency for corporate gains.
