37. safeguard ‣ Coding, where you can’t mess with the raw data
38. safeguard ‣ Coding, where you can’t mess with the raw data ‣ In well-designed computatonal environments
39. safeguard ‣ Coding, where you can’t mess with the raw data ‣ In well-designed computatonal environments ‣ In reproducible computational documents
40. safeguard ‣ Coding, where you can’t mess with the raw data ‣ In well-designed computatonal environments ‣ In reproducible computational documents ‣ With version control
