I had an ok career in software engineering (Android/iOS -> backend -> engineering management) before getting MS in Bioinformatics and starting a PhD in Medicine.

For me, the pain points are often the same as in business. Biologists with no data analysis experience want something done without understanding constraints. Requirements are often not understood and there isn’t a good plan.

Some people do indeed suffer from code being slow and this can be solved with better tools. I works with large datasets in single-cell genomics (over a million cells) and the model takes ~12 hrs to train on an entry-level GPU. So, most o my time is spent at trying to understand the results.
