Aside: have you ever written about the seemingly high software inertia in biotech? Due to the high-stakes nature of the work, it seems lots of really bad software sticks around for way too long. Also a lot of bad software is tied to brilliant scientific instrumentation, but the $ is in the hardware so no one is incentivized to make the SW any good.

I don't know if I've ever written about this idea in particular. I've written a couple of posts trying to explain why biotech software seems so bad, but I didn't explore this particular reason. Maybe in a future post...

I've been having some trouble with caching issues, where it gets stuck in certain people's browsers. As a temporary fix, it usually works if you clear the cache or open it in an incognito window. But I'm still working on a long-term fix.
