I think that notebooks have been a bit of a sideways step in a data science workflow. They're accessible, but they're tremendously brittle.

- nl 6y agoNotebooks are so much better than anything else I've used for data science. I have a traditional SWEng background and came into data science never having used them. I'd never go back. I'm not saying that they are impossible to improve, but as a general approach they are exactly right. They are "brittle" when viewed as a software artefact. But that's not really what they are (or should be).
