Competitive advantage says that in the vast majority of cases you should do more or less what you're doing now, perhaps adjust your behaviour to optimise for compensation, and spend/donate money to have more biologists work on this. This is very general advice for anyone with a cause that they would like to get done without regard to who does it.
- Kinrany 5y agoIt's only true when money is the bottleneck.
- solveit 5y agoIt's true as long as you personally are not particularly suited to widen the bottleneck. Which is most of the time. In this particular case, it's very unlikely a typical dev would contribute more by taking a few years off to learn biology and maths and statistics, instead of just making money and paying someone who has already spent that time.
- grishka 5y agoNo, money is not the answer and just paying money is just plain boring. Especially when guys like Bezos have already put $3B into this. My donations would be a drop in the ocean. I want to do something meaningful myself.
