Oh no! I think my project is outgrowing my Jupyter notebook. How do I survive?
summary
Notes say notebooks work great for exploration but cause namespace pollution and hidden state; hitting the restart and run all big red button clears that. Long runs and many visualizations slow or crash notebooks — she reports roughly 50% failure in extreme cases — so moving heavy work into scripts and modules helps. Practical tools mentioned: sys.path.append to import local modules, the auto-reload extension for iterative development, and exporting visuals with plotly express auto_open=True for consistent outputs.
