@zlice I've had some assignments that wanted us to use R, once you get used to it, it can actually be kinda useful haha; but nothing you can't do in python

@zlice Dude, the disconnect between the natural science field and the CS field is unreal. I think this is due to most people starting of in one field and then discovering the other, not studying both from the beginning. Also a lot of the tools like most of NCBI are very clunky and hard to use, especially for new people migrating from other fields. Also what is up with FASTA? I hate parsing the header with ">" and pipes, just why? I worked at a web agency doing both front- and backend things and it amazed me how old-school biotechnology felt in comparison, albeit such a young field.

@zlice Get into it, if you have the chance to! It's an amazing field, albeit very young, which is why a lot of people don't know much about it! And yeah often you just crave a change, even if it isn't for the better...

It still works! Sending out vouchers to friends and family!
