It's the bitter-lesson to feature-engineering lifecycle.

When a technique or technology is new people are making massive gains by just applying it to some use case, or gathering more data for training, or giving it more resources.

As time goes on those "bitter lesson" gains start to hit the shallow part of the logistic curve and companies have to start investing more and more effort into engineering for each small, incremental gain.

Well put, thanks.
