Healthy Code for Healthy Teams - Building Robust and Flexible Research Codebases

Explore the powerful connection between healthy teams and healthy code in this 46-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2024. Delve into the challenges of creating robust and flexible research codebases, and discover how a healthy team improved code health by implementing type annotations and runtime type checking for JAX arrays. Learn strategies to break the cycle of disappointing codebases and build enduring code, even for groundbreaking research projects. Gain insights into fulfilling the seemingly contradictory requirements of research codebases: robustness for long, large computations and flexibility for quick experimentation with innovative ideas.
