People are latching onto different individual takeaways from this, but it really requires a multi-prong approach (and can never be fixed completely): Companies making scientific software should test at a higher level of rigor than others. There's no such thing as bug-free software, but that on missile launch systems and NASA satellites comes pretty close, so scientific software can too. For algorithms that go beyond just math, researchers should consider writing their own code. As applicable, software version numbers (and perhaps binary hashes) should be listed as part of the reproduction conditions in papers.
