This paints an incredibly bleak picture of the state of modelling. Is there any chance that things are improving?
- Mvandenbergh 6y agoSure, younger academics in modelling heavy subjects are much more aware of software engineering issues and newer code tends to be better. That being said, academia is a world where you are competing with the smartest, most driven people in the world for a small set of available jobs. Anything that does not directly impact how likely you are to get those jobs simply will not be done consistently.
