I'm 80% "software engineer" and 20% "researcher" and have to play both roles to write supercomputer code (I'm the minority, most peers are more researchers). These issues are important right now, as the govt is investing in software engineering due to recent hardware changes that require porting efforts. We recognize the pitfalls of naive software engineering applied to scientific code, and would like to do things more carefully. I don't think we should have to choose one or the other; with proper communication we can achieve a better balance.
