> most of them are actually pretty good programmers. What is 'good'? In 'software development' 'good' is usually connected to writing clear, maintainable, test covered code. In most scientific research it means something completely different. I think on HN most adhere to the former definition of good and in that sense most researchers (especially in physics, but also CS / ML) are not 'good' according to that definition (because you need quite a lot of years of experience in a corporate setting usually) and actually even bad. But the code works and implements the concepts in their papers so they are 'good' in that respect. That is more rapid prototyping to make a POC to show it works, after which you properly rewrite it. |
