Researchers tend to write pretty poor code, if any of the research papers I've read/read corresponding code for are any indication. Obviously not trying to state anything deep here by over-analyzing that one point in his quote, but kinda funny his statement implies researchers write decent code. Often I question the result of a paper due to how bad the code is. Many paper results cannot even be replicated by writing your own code following the papers description. I agree more fundamentally with the fact that most people write low quality code if there aren't structures/patterns already in place to protect them from themselves. From that perspective, I agree with his point. Though I'm not a big fan of the implementation of the idea
