Andreessen: Software expansion is increasingly colliding with government regulations
“More and more, the interesting things that are happening is computer science gets applied to more fields. More and more, we're hitting the real world which is to say we're hitting real world regulations we're hitting real world laws, we're hitting real world p…”

Horowitz: Candidates With Both CS and Biology Skills Will Easily Find Jobs
“Having those two skill sets makes you, like, There's, you will have no problem getting started in the industry just because there are very few people who have both vocabularies and the kind of opportunities in it are so big, so I, like, I don't think you can m…”

Horowitz: Biotech company creation will resemble computer science within 5 to 10 years
“With computational biology, there are a lot, there are very interesting opportunities around diagnostics, where you can build a company in a way that's more similar to the way you build a computer science company. That's a lot of what we're funding, and so I t…”

Conde: Biology is shifting from experimental science to an engineered discipline
“As we move beyond software, we're at this point where we're seeing this incredible convergence between biology, computer science, and engineering. And it's this convergence that's going to give us broad new superpowers to understand and manipulate biology. Ess…”

Pande: Principles of traditional engineering disciplines carry over to biological systems
“I think mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, computer science, all these disciplines are pushing into biology, and so instead of steel, it's bone, or it's muscle, but the same principles actually carry over really nicely, and if yo…”

Andreessen: Combining CS and liberal arts enables unique breakthroughs
“He proposes what he calls the third culture which are the people who can bring the two cultures together and the people who can bring, you know, physics, or now computer science, into liberal arts, and the people in liberal arts who can learn and understand, e…”

Kevin Kelly: Software will dominate for 25 years before biotech eclipses it
“20, 25 year horizon that I'm talking about. So, so I think beyond that, yes, I think it's wide open, but I think, you know, for the next 25 years, I think this is what I'm talking about. I think computer science will continue to run everything. Software will c…”

Pande: Dual-domain biology and computer science founders will be a major trend
“What we're really seeing emerging are new founders, Founders that also live in both of these worlds. Founders that have deep experience in the biology and deep experience in computer science, and actually, for these types of companies, I think that's going to …”

Levine: Data science will replace traditional coding as computer science foundation
“You know, I think that data science will become the new academic approach in computer science. There'll be less coding and more about data science. New algorithms for data science, new Approaches to understand the world around us. So, you know, we can call thi…”

Hennessy: Algorithmic thinking is a fundamental meta-discipline everyone must learn
“It is unique, and it is this meta-discipline, I mean, I think, and it's become the new meta-discipline that everybody needs to learn. Because algorithmic thinking is such a fundamental thing about how the world operates these days.”

Hennessy: Scientific innovation requires a new breed of interdisciplinary machine learning experts
“And this is a big gap right now because the senior people in the field, it's highly unlikely that most of Most of them are going to take a year or two out and go back and learn a bunch of things about computer science and statistics and machine learning ideas.…”

Hennessy: Computer science now attracts top academic talent over biological sciences
“I thought 10 years ago that computer science was going to become second to the biological sciences in terms of getting the best students, and that Everybody, the really best students were going to go do the biologicals, biotech, things like this. Well, that's …”

Adam D'Angelo: Computer science fundamentals will remain essential for managing AI agents
“Having these skills to understand the sort of fundamentals of what's possible with algorithms and data structures, I think that actually really helps you in, in managing agents when you're using them. And I, I'm guessing that it will continue to be a valuable …”
