That is basically the mission statement of Software Carpentry (https://software-carpentry.org/). They have a _ton_ of great material for those in scientific computing wanting to improve their software engineering skills.
I've looked into software carpentry, I'm glad it's there but learning how to commit and 'intro to <python/R/unix>' is about five years behind what I need. Most scientists can read intro tutorials themselves. I'll keep looking around on their website though, thanks for sharing.
