As someone who is both a developper and a psychology student, your average coder knows about as much psychology as your average psychologist knows about coding. That is to say, not a whole lot.

I am saddened but not surprised by psychology's replication crisis. But really it applies to all of academia, psychology is only in the spotlight because some of branches have less than stellar methodology in the first place. Social psychology gets criticized a lot, partly because it's one of the only branches rigorous enough to even be tested!

Obviously I'm not in favour of this. But it's a very big machine that needs fixing, and I don't think it starts with tweaking the details; drastic changes are required if we are to gain back the lost credibility. To me, this applies both to social and hard sciences. Since this is a general problem with academia, either your field has already been called out or it has yet to be. I don't believe the current system offers an alternative (yet), though I'm cautiously optimistic about preregistration.
