Prefer common sense over hype. Employed @marimo_io, built https://t.co/KOwpfLMpuQ blog https://t.co/zREZ8H2IBZ.




POV: you’re a developer in 2026😂



Though bash is a completely valid REPL, the amount of time coding agents lose during experimentation because they iterate on scripts instead of a Jupyter-like in-memory REPL is basically dumb. Fixing 1 local bug should not require restarting the whole job. Need better scaffolds.

For a long time, every data science or machine learning project had a folder called notebooks in the root directory, reserved for Jupyter notebooks that render nicely on GitHub. I haven't used Jupyter for over a year; instead, I've been using @marimo_io. I realized that when people see a notebooks folder in a GitHub repo, they expect to find rendered notebooks rather than just static Python files. Since marimo isn't widely known yet, people may not immediately understand that the project uses it. So I came up with the name Motebooks "Notebooks, but for marimo", so it's instantly clear that it's something different from Jupyter and worth checking out.
