Code quality
“Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?”
Brian W. Kernighan
The quality of your research software plays a crucial role in its reliability, maintainability, and scalability.
