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: Science-based development is higher risk than engineering
“So, you know, we've seen companies that are built with science risk, and companies, especially tech companies that are engineering companies, you know, how can we take things from the science curve, which is stochastic and high risk, towards something that's m…”

Rose: AI will end software engineering as non-subjective coding is solved
“I think engineering is over. I think we're going to be orchestrators of information, not engineers. I think those will be solved problems. Anything where there is a non subjective outcome, AI will tackle that and solve that problem.”
