See a previous post of mine (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17840216 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17840216) for my general (frustrating) experience with notebooks. I'll add positives notes, though: -They're excellent for beginner tutorials that explain an abstract concept or a library's use cases -They're very well suited for academic peer-review. It's basically a way to say: here's what we obtained, here are the exact steps we did to obtain it, you can obtain it as well if you do exactly as we did. You'd think this reproducibility requirement would be common sense but in practice you're usually thankful if the data is available, or the software is released and works.
