Quite frankly, most people on HN are software devs with a wider interest in the world. HN’ers usually-ish comment when they have something insightful to sat, even if the insight is just a humble one.

But I dare to guess that most HN’ers did high school bio and that’s it, so it’s harder to even give a small thoughtful comment on it, so they refrain.

Case in point, I wouldn’t have commented either. But I feel at home here and notice some behavioral patterns. And compared to other fellow devs, I generally am more tuned to tune in on behavioral patterns because of having studied psychology.

But that’s just my take.

I think this is it. I'm a general software engineer and would like to switch to being in this field but something like this is just way over my head. It sounds like a great innovation but I'm lacking the domain knowledge to fully understand it. I've spent several months going through online courses to basically get to a Biology 101 understanding. Getting to the level of understanding something like this seems like it would be a multi-year effort and I don't really know what's the best way to proceed.
