I don’t get that complaint. It’s like hearing a software engineer complaining “write code or get fired”, yeah, well, that’s your literal job?

To all reproducibility problems I say “publish more”. Do you plan to do a study? Register it and publish your methodology before data collection. Have you collected data? Publish it. Have you finished the study? Believe it or not, publish it.

Do you want to do a 20 year long study on a particle collider built specifically for you right after finishing your PhD? Well, sorry, you have to build your reputation so that society sees that you are not one of those people who “are making shit up or at least being overly optimistic”.

Yea, but it's like all the software doesn't work or has huge security holes....
