The part about sharing makes a lot of sense since Python use is so wide spread. The throwing-over-the-wall effect isn't a language specific issue, more of a work culture issue. Seems to me if you practice "literate programming" with R markdown you can greatly improve the sharing aspect and reduce the throw-it-over-the-wall issue.
- srean 11y agoTotally agree about it being a cultural thing, have first hand experience at some of the usual suspects. I have a far more cynical label for it: deliver your turd (typically formed in MATLAB) for someone else to polish. It is surprising how common this is in some places and groups. I mention groups because when the group moves from one place to another it brings that turd polishing culture along.
