I still like clean algorithms. I like them more when they sit behind a button that says "scan label" and a path for "I cannot."
The translation is the job: features to preprocessing, databases to last-scan, HCI to thumb targets. If you skip the translation, you write homework in a warehouse.
Pride in boring reliability
A unique constraint is as satisfying as a clever trick when it stops a ghost SKU. I had to learn that. The floor was a good teacher.
Keep a little science
Active learning, embeddings, evaluation sets — the class brain still works. It just has to survive sodium lights.
