I don't think research code in aggregate is any worse than any other source for code. If we had the same kind of visibility into all the commercially written code, it would be the same pattern of some well structured, and some a complete mess, without any correlation with the companies concerned, but with a lot of correlation to the ability of the author. The recent example of Citibank´s loan payment interface comes immediately to mind. So does Imperial's Covid model (the one that had timing issues when run on different computers.)
