> workflow for modern scientific research
careful with the word modern, as the latest generation of students and postdocs is using Git, CI/CD etc, sometimes militantly but this amateurish approach reflects the incentive structure, where the goal isn't to produce a robust solution but to achieve notoriety and impact in one's domain. This impact factor plays into getting the next grant which creates a feedback loop that makes any shortcuts to the latest shiny thing obligatory.
Even when failures become apparent, scientists can play the feature-not-a-bug card very frequently to stay on top.
