VivaciousPenguin66 This is very true! We are trying to explain the benefits of this method. Some people like it and some people like the flexibility. We do have our philosophy in mind when we create "best practices" and obviously features to ClearML but ultimately people should do what makes them the most productive!
If we are getting philosophical, I think it's the state of the industry and as it progresses, these standard methods would become more prominent.
also, to add to what you wrote, the difference in ML VS SW engineering is that a model isn't just the code, but once you decoupled the parameters, code and data(The way we do), you have these 3 components to track so the Model is a result of a combination of these 3.
