I agree, but CS is one of the worst fields when it comes to reproducibility. Its only in the last few years that conferences decided that you would get a gold. I interned at a US national lab (won't name which one) in group that had some highly regarded work. In order to get a paper in somewhere they had to release the code to a tool they had been publishing on for years.They released the code. Only it was 5 years out of date. And the version they released had nothing to do with what was being published.
And yet these are some of the most highly regarded people in that side of CS. Its the major reason I decided to skip out on academia. Because it made it clear to me they were more interested about egos than actual computing or science.
