Yes I understand it's a tradeoff, but I'm saying I would prefer a different tradeoff. It would be more intuitive to me if running a cell always invalidated the cells below; this would make variable reassignment unambiguous, just like in a script, but still with all the visualization goodies of a notebook.
Being able to run Jupyter cells independently is a feature until it’s not.
I’d say for most of my one-off work, it’s fine. But for stuff I want to share it’s not.
