Fascinating presentation! Joel is such a meme factory :-) Has anyone done a "rejected memes" section at the end of a technical talk before? On topic: I applaud the effort to set things straight, but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. Hacky "Kaggle notebook solutions" are now Data Science. That's what the term evolved to mean, and all the rest of the impedance highlighted in this presentation follows. If your work involves creating well-designed, well-factored, tested, reusable ML software that is meant to be integrated, picked apart, extended and applied over time in practice (as opposed to be submitted once to an oracle in order to claim "SOTA"), you better come up with another term. And obviously Notebooks are not a good fit, beyond as a tool for documentation & reporting (which Joel correctly calls out as genuinely useful).
