@FinanceYF5: Science Goes Programmable 1/ The research paradigm is shifting—70 % of scientists can’t reproduce others’ results, and 50 % can’t even reproduce their own experiments a few months later. This isn’t about any single tool being weak; the entire production model needs to be rebuilt.
Summary
The post notes that 70 % of scientists fail to reproduce published results, and 50 % can’t replicate their own experiments months later. It argues the issue isn’t a single inadequate tool but that the whole scientific production model must shift to a programmable paradigm.

Scientific Programming 1/ The research paradigm is shifting
70 % of scientists can’t reproduce published results; 50 % can’t reproduce their own experiments a few months later.
This isn’t about any single tool being under-powered—the entire production model is due for a rewrite.
