well this is fun.<p>1) wrote that blog post<p>and<p>2) gave the open insulin guys the design they&#x27;re using.  I am a little bit dismayed that credit for the design is somewhat buried in the public facing materials, but whatever.<p>and<p>3) agree that it&#x27;s mostly hype - both this project and &#x27;biohacking&#x27; in general.  I run a nonprofit that is working on an patent-free cancer drug.  Raised 60k and I&#x27;m doing ok, about to launch into production phase pre- animal model study.  I would hesitate to call myself a biohacker - I have a PhD in chemistry and two postdocs in biochemistry and molecular biology, so I&#x27;m not coming from the CS&#x2F;IT side - although I do currently code for a living.<p>but<p>4) think that whatever, the project could be interesting.<p>As it is, the way insulin is manufactured is pretty terrible, it could be way cheaper, and it&#x27;s with that in mind that I designed the scheme the way that I designed it.
