Reminder of Complexity
i independently ran across this when going through: <a href="https://www.edx.org/course/principles-of-biochemistry" rel="nofollow">https://www.edx.org/course/principles-of-biochemistry</a><p>As someone who is formally trained in computer science I was literally blown away by biochemistry. Once you see that any organism that involved organic chemistry is in fact an insanely complicated, biological computer you cannot unsee it. It's amazing.<p>In case someone is wondering what the author of the blog post zoomed in, that's the Krebs cycle - ie how we derive energy (ie ATP) from the food we eat (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle</a>).
