You seem to know a lot about this area. I do not but I've heard explaining what deep learning models do is a black-box? If you work in a "misson critical" you'd have to explain all the math behind the model. Let's say in healthcare, finance, aviation, etc.
Also, the "big math brain"'s you're talking about probably read all the books your shutting down. I'd say their big math brains are the reason we have LLMs today.
> deferring all testing and linting to the CI process is an anti-pattern
I'm confused as to why this is an anti-pattern? My understanding is that the CI pipeline should run unit tests and linting for every commit. But at the same time, developers should run their tests before pushing code.
