<@U04EATBG0E8> When should I use a flow vs. a task?

Hi, <@U03D3KHGC0L>, Allow me to consult my brain cells on that.

I'm not sure. I think that depends on the type of work you're doing. For example, if you're writing a Python script that needs to run a Prefect flow, then I would recommend using a Prefect task. If you're writing a Python script that needs to execute a Prefect flow, then I would recommend using a Prefect flow.
