> Remember that scientists don't care about the quality of their code. In many cases, once the code is complete, it will only run once and then be thrown away. There is no maintenance. Things like technical debt don't exist. The code is usually used once, but it’s modified and “improved” for the next paper. So you add a few new routines here and a few files to read or write there, ... And one day you have a 95 pages fortran 77 program (it’s does’t even follow the fortran 90 standard). |
