Python is claiming to be easier to read and faster to develop. Often (always?), without data. Notebooks are pushing something close to a live coding session, but having to recreate so much to get there.
And if you had ever used other environments, it is frustrating to see people lauding and making progress and tons of press, all while pushing bad practices.
That is, it isn't that nobody could or had done these things. If you care about productionizing, you just need a more formalized environment. You needa more pluggable setup. Just hitting "play all" again on a notebook is good, but is a very low bar. Or puts more effort on parts that don't matter. Often both.
So, I meant all of that at a personal level. I feel like the entire industry is trying to sell me something on faith. Or appeals to the impressive products of people that likely could have used any tool. It hits many of my "don't trust me" vibes.
