I'm as guilty of this as anyone, but I'll tell you how to fix it:
Make code review part of peer review.
I think the next generation of scientists at least understand that things like unit tests are useful, but passing peer review is the only incentive to do anything, and reviewers don't read code.
- newen 9y agoBeyond impractical. Besides it taking 10x as long to peer review something, I can't even imagine my advisor willing to do this. Most professors don't even touch code, they leave it to the graduate students. Hell, I know professors (in EE) who teach code heavy classes that don't even know how to run a single line of the code that they teach; but that's another topic.
- UncleMeat 9y agoSome conferences require artifacts, but this is ludicrously impossible. I review a paper in an hour or so. If somebody comes to me with some fancy new symbolic execution framework it is going to take me days to review the code. Unless you are planning on paying me for a months work to review 20 papers, this is impossible.
