Best code practices in coding Notebooks

Hi All,

Good day!

Could you suggest some best code practices while coding in Databricks Notebooks.

Let me think:

do not repeat yourself aka create functions
use markdown! this is probably the most important one as it is one of the big advantages of using a notebook
try to use libraries (or .py files) to group code which is used often
use repos
and this is personal taste and perhaps controversial but use python or scala (not SQL)
and a lot of stuff I probably forget, but other people will add this 🙂
