| See the AI hype? this is going to happen to gene editing and biology. I think that lots of dev's are already interested in the human genom, biochemistry and life science but it's somehow too far away, it's not predicable enough for us, that's because we (humans) haven't understood it yet. But there will be a time were all those topics will be more predicable for us developers, we will gain more interest in biological programming ? There will be coursera/pluralsight courses about 'Extract your own DNA and make it blink' courses. Biology is going to be programmable like a microcontroller.
We will order Do it yourself kits like Arduinos and Pi's from Amazon. Edit: And that's something I'd really love to see, there is so much potential once real hackers try to solve problems in biology, if we take a closer look at the open source community and how many amazing things they (we) have created, all that awesomeness could also become true for biology.
