This reminds me of an idea from semiotics that I learned from a course in translation studies: That the moment a text transitions from "author" to "reader", the character of the text is fundamentally altered within the mind of the reader; undergoing a kind of remixing. To me, this adds a level of cohesion between pre-digital and digital artifacts. It's like a perceivable, actualized, and real-time form of the mental processes we've been doing to pre-digital artifacts the whole time.

I'd like to hear some first-hand accounts of what it's like to try and wear all (or most) of these hats at once. I think it could provide a refreshing sense of perspective :')

I think reproduction of existing studies is also an important factor to consider during project development. While reproducing the results of another study may be too time-consuming depending on the scope of a project, it can serve as a saving grace from the pain of discovering that a highly-cited paper didn't actually perform the statistical proofs they claimed to have done (thus dooming parts of the project that hinged on such research). I'm 100% projecting by saying that, but I do truly believe that reproduction for the sake of veracity is under-appreciated.
