Amazing! What kind of things did you work on?

My job was mostly mundane machine learning: classification over very large categorical sets.

I never had anything more than a dim intuition of the serious chemistry going on before the bytes got to me.

Where were you working? That sounds super interesting

I’m a big fan of what you folks are doing by the way.

Haskell (and Nix) people are fond of talking about “constraints as power”.

I was a contractor for like a month so I’m not at liberty to talk about the details.

There are a number of companies doing innovative things around quantifying proteins and their concentrations in various samples.

I had the privilege to rub elbows with folks working on such cool stuff.
