Not sure why I got downvoted... I have been working in web development in the last 5 years and have started working with Jupyter notebooks in the last 4 weeks while taking some Data Science courses.

I really feel like state management with jupyter notebooks is a bit whacky. From my experience having built and maintaining websites, it's bizarre to open a notebook with a previous state but have cells not work because it needs to be reran from top to bottom.

In contrast, when opening a web page, the state is usually reflecting what you'd might expect without having to refresh the page.

I am sure there is some setting to correct this (either rerun on open or don't save state on exit), but it hurts my mental model of how a browser based application should work.
