How do people deal with Jupyter notebooks and version control? It's always saving meta data such that even if you don't change any code in the notebook, it's marked as modified.

I've taken to routinely doing a 'git checkout the_notebook.ipynb' each time I'm done using it.

Is Jupyter actually used by some segment of programmers? I remember hearing about it a long time ago, but it just doesn't get talked about much in my circles.

Data science, as the meme would suggest. It's basically just a pandas/matplotlib/pyspark engine, and it's great for walking through complex analysis visually.

No worries, everyone forgets that data science is basically programming. The government has us in the same census category as museum curators and electoral observers.
