There's several examples that I know of that were the one-off prototype code written by the physicists that turned into production code. They were used for years but would take hours to run. We look at it and fix it for them. Usually takes less than a week. Now, the codes now run in minutes instead of hours. That's a lot of wasted scientist time. Though, I get that it's hard to get software engineers or computer scientists on the grants, anyways, because no one wants to pay for them, even if there is a large computational portion of the research.
