This is true for people who have worked on big projects or had to maintain working software over time.
However, I dare you to look at the kinds of code that "Jupyter notebook only needs to run once"-scientists write... Many of them have spent a lot of time hacking and can hack together something that runs and works on one input incredibly quickly. In a business, however, that's almost never what you want.

Maybe like a "bad hacked-together first instinct" is easier to correct and build on than "misusing or mangling an advanced dev paradigm that you're not even good to enough to judge whether is appropriate for this usecase."
