My take on the parent comment is that it has some adversity and feeling of superiority to it. And I don't like that. I agree that in the end it is not a competition, I didn't think that I would have to point it out.
In fact I am in the middle of fixing up code that I wrote as novel research because the powers that be want it in a production system. The code review I got was detailed and - frankly - embarassing at times because all the uncertainties and meanderings of research had me change pieces of code over and over and over again to a point where remnants of old approaches didn't stand out to me anymore and where I had at times built on top of bad decisions because they were meant as a temporary hack and experiment, but worked well enough and stayed in. And by the time I submitted the code for review I had become blind to these mistakes. I know how to write good and clean code and I get through code reviews easily when I know what I am doing. Not this time, though.
