If you think functions and modules as an example of what makes a code maintanable, then I'm afraid we won't be able to agree. I've seen data scientists handling big code bases. The problem was not they couldn't use the language features. The problem is that they would be always lacking essential information for their mission because their is not enough time in a day for a regular human being. They would put a md5 hashed password in their db, create an xml format to be reusable only to realize they'll need to hard code some value later, or have a gunicorn running to a crawl because they didn't know how to calibrate the number of workers. It's just too many things to know. Once they mastered that, other things would come to bite them. |

It’s definitely a part of it. This isn’t an all or nothing thing, one can learn good practices without encumbering their scientific work.
