Someone on Twitter asked me how you can future-proof a Python project in 10 years and I honestly didn’t know, because it’s all so brittle. But:

1. Dockerize it.
2. Pin all dependencies
3. Use older libraries with longer release cycles
4. Fewer dependencies

Instead of on Twitter - let's try this here & see if it works by now.

If you're developing a game, or released one: reply with the title, description, screenshots, and/or a link. Doesn't matter what stage of development you're in. Then repost this, and let's see what cool stuff we're all making.

Proteins do it all. Hemoglobin ferries oxygen around the body. Keratin structures hair, nails and skin. Insulin helps glucose convert into energy.

The fold of a protein is critical to its function. Yet no one really knows specifically how protein folding happens.

🧪 Phenomenal read!

AlphaFold2, revolutionized protein science but it can’t fully explain the underlying mechanisms. It emphasizes the need for traditional science to validate findings.

It highlights that AI should be considered a tool to aid, not replace, human research and other work. 🧬🖥️🩺🤖
