Re: REPL use, you just use it to run code and look at results. e.g. for TDD – you can modify your code files normally in the IDE, changes get picked up by revise, and then you re-run the tests in the REPL.

For long-running jobs, I basically follow the same process as in any other language: make the functions I want to run, test them locally on a small dataset that runs relatively quickly, then launch them on the remote machines with the full data.

Revise.jl has struct redefinition now, but before that I would just use NamedTuples while iterating, then make a struct when I was ready to move something to production.

`using` is for importing modules, `include` is for specific files. At work, we currently have a monorepo, with one top-level OurProject.jl file that uses `using` to import external packages, and `include` for all the internal files.
