Neuron, a new VS Code extension for data science

I spent time reading through Joel Grus' "I hate notebooks" slide deck and he makes a really compelling why they (Jupyter notebooks) are not the right tool for many reasons.

It was eye opening.

His YouTube live coding on building a neural net from scratch really shows the power of using VSCode to do AI work and complements his assertions.

Both are well worth the time. All the reading I've been doing on ML/AI really came together after watching and taking notes in that YouTube video.

You have to give credit to JupyterCon for inviting him! Most of his issues relate to Jupyter, he has/had not seen JupyterLab. You can trust that many of these issues will get worked out in the long run. I have nothing against VS Code but Jupyter(Lab) didn't win the ACM Software System award (Nobel price for software) for nothing.
