  • If you only learn to program in Jupyter notebooks, it’s possible that you’ll develop bad coding practices.

  • It’s somewhat counterintuitive to object oriented programming and can discourage OOP practices.

    • As part of that, it can discourage modularity.

  • Most jupyter notebooks and their output are not easily reproducible. Even if you don’t have cells that use randomization, if the original creator only ran some cell a few times and then just kept the state without running it in subsequent runs, the next person who runs it won’t be able to reproduce it running it from scratch.

    • You may run a notebook always skipping a cell, while the next person to run it doesn’t skip that cell. You’ll end up with different output.

    • Cells executed in different orders give you different output. You can override the linear run of cells in jupyter.
