What this job is probably like day to day

Reading, experiments, writing: training runs, ablations, internal demos. Progress is bursty; long feedback loops punctuated by big unlocks. Late stage on top of that: established process, specialized roles, real resources; impact comes through leverage, not heroics. Robotics context: hardware timelines rule; software ships fast but the robot ships when it ships.
