Goals:
Some people hate Jupyter!
But why?
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. 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.

There are great things about Jupyter
Encourages well documented/commented code
Great visualization
It’s wasn’t made to be used on an HPC
In many ways, HPC computations and Jupyter notebooks don’t really go together naturally. Their use cases and original intentions are very different.
To work around this, tools can be used.
But in some cases they end up being more of a “workaround” to make things that just don’t work together, work at the same time.
