Are .ipynb notebooks outdated in the agentic era? A data scientist rethinks the cell workflow

A data scientist who started before the LLM era questions whether Jupyter notebooks still fit agentic development. The classical DS pipeline (EDA → prep → fit → eval → tune) was built around code cells, but Claude/Codex can now write most code — so should the abstraction shift from code → output to prompt → result? He notes classical ML still demands exploratory iteration and asks peers whether notebooks survive out of habit or merit.
