If you know what kind of short analysis you want to do, the benefits of Jupyter are not obvious. If you have to do a lot of exploration, and do longer analyses then it becomes indispensable.

It's also really valuable for sharing. At NPR, I did an analysis of Trump's tweets that was used in a digital post and Morning Edition piece. The notebook was easy to share with the reporter, editor, and readers and accessible enough for them to understand (https://github.com/nprapps/trump-tweet-analysis/blob/master/...).

I guess I could see that. Maybe I need to learn more of the keyboard shortcuts and magic methods.
