Lesson 146: Queue + batch job hygiene
Focus
Document classical post-processing: it often dominates wall-clock and interpretability. Token Queue + batch job hygiene:146 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Queue + batch job hygiene · drill v6 · spin
37671. - Habit: pair each job with shot budget, mitigation profile, and a calibration fingerprint you could paste.
- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.
