If you continue to break the site guidelines, we're going to have to ban you. We've asked you about this multiple times already. Swipes like "LMAO", "you clearly have no understanding", "you are missing the point", "do you know anything", "you are completely ignorant", and so on are not ok here, regardless of how much you know.

I appreciate your informative comments to HN, but we need you to stop posting like this. It damages the community, which is fragile. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this going forward?

I have a good friend who is a cancer researcher and they're 5 years in and think they might be able to commercialize something in another 3. Realistically, they're assuming it will be closer to five.

While I have massive respect for the people with the insight, patience, and understanding to tackle biotech, I can't imagine spending 8-10 years for the hope that maybe you've done something useful.. and then figure out if you can sell it.

Exactly this. OP doesn't seem to get it. It takes a long time and "launching" is never certain. Thank you sir.

Huh? I guess if they had a crystal ball.

Examples?

Plenty of sequencing software start ups, platforms, etc that are doomed to fail in this over saturated space.
