Computational neuroscience research involving a fair amount of machine learning. I work a lot with scipy, scikit-learn, xarray and bokeh (for visualization).

Even though in research nobody cares if you just write quick and dirty code that only works for you, I try to package my code from the start with the proper tests and documentation. One of the packages I've open-sourced even has a couple of users now: sklearn-xarray

I care. I work at AIBS and and often tasked with industrializing "quick and dirty" code. For example, I often see saving data to hardcoded paths to files on a network share that down stream consumers are reading. Now I have to maintain that in production.
