At my day job I work a lot with data, from a multitude of sources. It amazes me how hard it is to build data products (you could think of it as an analog to scientific experiments) and know exactly what parts of the processing pipeline influenced what parts in the result.
On the other hand: When I hear that many scientists use Excel for complicated processing chains and are sometimes themselves hardly able to reproduce anything a few month after the paper was published, I believe we hit some new low point in scientific activity. Combined with an infrastructure focused on research impact and number of papers published, this is really a sad situation.
