I agree that this is a serious issue in our community, but I am not sure I agree that stable libraries <=> reproducible experiments.
the problem is that academia rewards producing papers, not stable software libraries.
isn't this the good thing about academia? aren't you kids getting paid the big bucks to write and maintain the software libraries, while we work on novel problems for pennies?

also, won't google always be there?
sorry, why did you say that was worth a read? it doesn't appear to have any content.
