This is the crux of a lot of the anti-notebook rhetoric.

I spend a good deal of time covertly teaching software engineering best practices to folks who claim they don't want to be "software engineers", yet they are in front of Jupyter most days.



Thank you for your service. ;-)

I'm a so called "scientific" programmer, and I use notebooks. I care about good programming practices, and have made an effort to improve my craftsmanship.

And I don't want to be a software engineer. I'm surrounded by SWE's in my work area, and their job doesn't really interest me. Division of labor. I'm glad somebody enjoys it.


I don't, but this is the conclusion my team came to very early on as well. It has honestly worked wonders.
