i've talked to a few biotech startups, usually a ceo or founder. the main issues are a consensus in the startup that (1) it's easier to combine numerous unrelated technologies that may not even run in similar environments/platforms to solve a very specific problem, and (2) it doesn't matter their level of skill in applying the tech to solve the very specific problem.

Yeah, most real work using tech doesn't care about platform/environment. Which is why things like Unix get so much usage.

These biotech people have such a higher appreciation for turning input into valuable output then most "computer scientists" have after 20 year careers.
