Despite the importance of software to science and scientists, most scientists are not familiar with basic software engineering concepts.

-This is in part due to the their general lack of formal training in programming and software development. \textcite{HannayJoErskine2009.000} found that over 90\% of scientists learn software development through `informal self study'. Indeed, I myself have never been formally trained in software development.

-Software development in a scientific context poses unique challenges. Many traditional software development paradigms demand an upfront articulation of goals and requirements. This allows the developers to carefully design their software, even before a single line of code is written. In her seminal 2005 case study \textcite{SegalJudith2005.000} describes a collaboration between a team of researchers and a contracted team of software engineers. Ultimately
