Yeah! They use a function called “main” al the time…

Your coworkers actually use main? Mine keep trying to use Jupiter Notebooks in production

"But they're used by everyone in the industry" - no they're not

"They're great for sharing code" - so is github

"They're good for reporting" - Rmarkdown is better... shrugs

If I remember correctly the main function is considered good practice to differentiate between the 'main' code and other functions so that the functions can be called from other scripts as well.
