Key points

  • I am a data scientist who started working in the industry before the LLM revolution.
  • Especially in classical ML applications, where you still need to explore data, run experiments, check different hypotheses and decide what to do next based on the results.
  • But why do we still need to organise the whole workflow around code cells?
  • Are ipynbs still good enough, or are we just used to working this way?
