In addition - does your ten year old protocol still work? Do your 10 year old results replicate? This isn't isolates to just programming - making robust and reproducible tools, code, equiptment, protocols, and results is undervalued across all areas of research, leading to situations where protocols published weren't robust so a change in reagent supplier leads to failure, or to protocols so dependent on weird local or unreported environmental conditions or random extra steps that attempting to replicate them leaves you nowhere. Robustness needs to be improved in general.
