I think making tools is a great thing to do as a computational biologist... But I feel the main goal of a computational biologist is not to just make tools but to make discoveries in ways that biologists could not have even dreamed of. I hope one day this field of computational biology can stop calling themselves computational biologists and simply call themselves biologists.

I also find sometimes the inverse is true: computational biologists who don't know any biology. I think there is work on both sides to bridge the gap.
