> One of our beliefs is that life sciences will be disrupted by those with rigorous training in mathematics and computer science without a previous background in biology. These fields provide tools for reasoning about biological problems in different ways from traditional researchers.
> One Latch engineer finished most of Berkeley's graduate mathematics program in a few years of undergrad before dropping out to join the team. Another one built an operating system and compiler before he could drive. None had classical training in molecular biology. All have proven to be incredibly fast learners.
I think the quotes speak for themselves..

#4I am betting myself $20 right now that this is the last I ever hear of this company, except perhaps if there's an HN post when they go under and everyone is like "remember 6-day-a-week-Mission-Bay-only guy?"

Especially since this enlightened gentleman decided to name his company after both a common English word and an already publicly traded company. It seems he believes one does not need to understand marketing either to be good at it.

When you're this smart, it's best to just re-invent everything from first principles. That way you'll avoid the mistakes that less smart people have made.

> Since their departure from campus, Workman, Giffin and Andere have begun assembling a team of engineers and designers to execute their ambitions. They are now working closely with some of the leading research institutions in the world — including Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and UC Berkeley — to build out data platforms, Workman added.
> Eventually, the founders hope to create a universal platform for biocomputing that operates as the “de facto place” for scientific analysis, Workman said. In the short term, they will continue establishing connections with laboratories and researchers around the world while addressing as many of the community’s software concerns as possible.
> According to Workman, as soon as early (2022), they hope to have complete coverage over relevant codebases in academia.

#10I wonder how many of the 200 he claims to have interviewed would have agreed to work there if asked. Or how many they made offers to who declined when they found out that they'd be expected to lose a weekend day.
