That may be the case for engineers with PhDs and scientific credentials, but I'm not so sure that is true of normal developers who did not play the academic game. I'm not going to take a job based on the eventuality of a culture shift, and I don't think you should either.
This isn't just genomics, by the way. Scientific computing folks are very similar.
- AlbertCory 4y agoThat's always been my impression, but it does sound like "software eats the world" has had some effect. At least in some places. Looking at it from their point of view: CS people tend to think that "everything is just information, and now that we're here you're all going to be working for us." You can see why a PhD in mol bio would resent that. Everything is not just information.
