Great read, it's nice to hear the context and nuance you bring here to describe the resources powering industrial bio research. I've spent time in both academic labs and life sciences SWE, but industry labs always felt somewhat orthogonal. My concept of how they operate is a lot less well-formed than I'd like haha.
You touched on the current landscape of software talent in biology. Compensation is a clear roadblock for many SWEs thinking about the space, but culture and technological maturity are less well-defined. Would love to hear more of your thoughts there.
