Some academic projects have a lot of funding and what they are researching is some top tier stuff. But the software? Absolute disaster. When people say DeepSeek is a side project, this is what I assume they mean. It's different when a bunch of software engineers make something with terrible security because it's their main job. With bunch of academics (and no offense to academics), software is not their main job. You could be working on teaching them how to use version control.
