AI coding tools disrupt nbdev workflow, prompting developer shift

Hamel Husain, a former proponent of the literate programming tool nbdev, has stopped using it due to the rise of AI coding assistants. He found that nbdev's unique workflow, which combines code, documentation, and tests in Jupyter notebooks, conflicts with how AI tools are trained and operate. Husain now prefers tools like Amp, Cursor, and Claude Code, which integrate better with AI and allow for more flexible language choices, shifting away from a Python-centric approach for all tasks.
