Re:How We Made Jupyter Notebooks Load 10 Times Faster

That seems like a reasonable way to use jupyter notebooks since you have an actual plan to move beyond it when necessary. My issue is mostly with the way its misused, often by people who are arguably at the top of the field.
It's great for exploring code and data too, especially situations where I'm really trying to feel my way towards a solution. I get to merrily intermingle rich text narrative and code so I explain how I got to where I got to and can walk people through it (I did that with some experimenting with an SMT solver several months ago, meant that people that had no experience with an SMT solver could understand the model I built).
I'd never use it to share code though. If we get to that stage, it's time to export from jupyter (which it natively supports), and then tidy up the code and productionise it. There's no way jupyter should be the deployed thing.
