No worries. :)
> Does this not happen in ML projects?
Consistently? No. At the level of e.g. OpenAI/Anthropic? It is mandatory. These are not just research labs, they're product (ChatGPT, Claude) companies. These American companies have done a reasonable job at hiring for all sorts of skillsets to keep things well rounded.
Perhaps DeepSeek hasn't learned this lesson yet... Or, well - it could be far more complicated than that. Speculating is only so useful with so little information.
