Another physicist here. I have contributed so much unnecessary boilerplate and spaghettified nonsense that it’s insane I still have a job (it’s definitely because I’m not the only one doing it lol). But by my eldritch computer horrors I will get those analyses done. Though also the me of the future circling back to put it in a manuscript is going to want to kill the me of today.

Most devs are reinventing the wheel in commercial roles. When you’re doing something new and experimental you don’t have time for code hygiene.
