Thoughts on Cookiecutter Data Science Integration?

[GokuMohandas]

Hi @hieucnguyen, great suggestion! I have used cookiecutter templates before and I have some opinionated beliefs. I think they make a lot of sense for tooling that involves setting up a collection of sorts (ie. Great Expectations) but I personally found them too rigid, especially for opinionated areas such as data science projects. Especially because people like to organize different artifacts under various nested architectures. For example, some people like to have data in a separate folder, some versioned and never explicitly written to the project dir, some as a pointer to somewhere else (feature store, etc.). So for now, I'm just focusing on what components are needed and not necessarily exactly how to organize them.
