Absolutely! I think you included some key points that I left out in this article as well. I’ll check out that video from Joel Grus, I was a huge fan of his DS from scratch book and recommended it in an article a while back, so I certainly have a high level of respect for the guy. That being said, thanks for sharing the video with me.

The problem is that Data Science courses teach in notebooks and make students too comfortable with using them. I saw it a lot when I was in school, where you would go to a GitHub profile and see several repositories all filled with only notebooks! That is essentially the reason I made the article, in anticipation that newer Data Scientists would possibly see it and be more likely to get the job by diversifying their portfolio with production code!

Thank you for your comment!
