Totally agree. I work in LLM training software and I believe progress in the field is actually much slower than it should be because of the excruciatingly long feedback loops involved in development. The software stacks are deep and abstract and much of the testing involves full integration tests that take a long time to spin up.

Interesting. What aspects of the development workflow/cycle have the most room for improvement (i.e. is there ranking of the "height" of the "hanging fruit" throughout the process)? What sort of software tooling would help?
