Chemical Programming

Watch Bonnie Bassler speak about bacteria. Do it. It’s so good that she gets a well deserved standing ovation at the end.

If you’re doing any amount of programming more complex than “just” business logic, you’ll find many parallels to programming. She’s right that since bacteria have developed for several tens of thousands times longer than humans, the way they work is pretty resilient, interesting and applicable. It certainly appears to scale, if you’re into that sort of thing.
