25 years in the industry here. As I said there's nothing against learning something new but I doubt it's as easy as "leveling up".
Both fields profit a lot from experience and it's as much gain for a scientist do become a software dev as an architect becoming a carpenter. It's simply not productive.
Well, that's the way it is. Scientific code and production code have different requirements. To me that sounds like "that machine prototype is inefficient - just skip the prototype next time and build the real thing right away."
I don't think you understand my point, which is that developing the prototype takes e.g. 50% more time than it should because of complete lack of understanding of software development.
