i don't know to what extent the "best practices" even apply in most of these settings. pretty much everything about good, clean code is either not relevant or needs to get thrown out the window as soon as it hurts performance in any way. There's typically no concept of "deployment" or "uptime" or "configuration" -- you are just running programs until they write out a result. good testing is a relevant best practice and increasingly scientists are recognizing this.
