At first I was happy about fast submission process. But then had a mitigated experience because both public and private LB were rewarding leakage. Most of my attempts at feature engineering / CV or model design were dwarfed in performance compared to introducing leakage. It was quite difficult to know what was good or bad. Honestly, I am quite happy to get back to a good TS API, because it is clearer that we are building somewhat good models. (Plus working on faster inference is a good engineering challenge).</p>",
