science is still (largely) rooted in 17th c. practices.
(and not in that “retro is cool” sort of way.)

our current systems are designed to create
friction.despite original intentions.

What Des-Cartes did was a good step. You have added much several ways, &
especially in taking ye colours of thin plates into philosophical consideration.
If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants.

traditions last not because they are excellent, but because influential people are averse to change and because of the sheer burdens of
transition to a better state ...

our systems need to talk to one another.

“One worry I have is that, with reviews like this, scientists will be even more discouraged from publishing their code [...] We need to get more code out there, not improve how it looks.”

code as a research object
what’s needed to reuse ?

we need to build capacity, not just more nodes.

in an increasingly digital, data-driven world, what core skills, tools
do the next-generation need?

is challenging.... but not impossible.
