Helped: Consistent quality and speed compared to other models.
Got in the way: GLM took longer and looped on rabbit holes.
… It would just loop on things and go down rabbit holes more. DS flash has been so consistently good I've kinda settled on it for 90% of my work. I still use adversarial review for bigger changes where I want to make sure any issues are caught early, but I genuinely feel as tho if no new models ever get made I'd be fine with just using DS forever.
