Low key waiting for bioinformatics software to get as slick as it is in 90's cyberpunk anime

The main advantage of human written code is that there exists a human who wrote the code, understands it and can answer questions about it without lying or hallucinating.

AI can obviously be used to be more productive, and there's no ontological reason why human-written code is inherently better but the sheer amount of slop generated internally despite passing *700 tests* is simply staggering. there's just no alternative to cleaning up the slop

The C++ Toolkit is actually really feature-rich and also contains some APIs to handle taxonomy, other algorithms like Gnomon or Dustmasker (though you can already use @apcamargo_ 's excellent pydustmasker for that) so I'll keep expanding functionalities in the Python part. 11/12
