Anyone can slap down some code and get something to marginally work from a tutorial they read online. The skill (and subsequent value) comes in when priorities change, things need to be refactored, and you need an experienced developer to c

It feels weird that I have to argue for safety and the scientific process in a forum for supposed intelligent people. It's very anti-intellectual.

Let's say I'm a startup with a new idea for a treatment. I don't really have the funding to actually go through the proper testing and I decide to use humans to test my new ideas. All of the patients in my trial die a horri

I think it's a great idea. But, it's pretty obvious from the people testing it out that it has some major flaws.
