Everyone seems to mention Claude. I use Gemini. My question for those who have lots of experience with both: is there a significant difference between the two in coding? (Reason I prefer Gemini: my first vibe code, I used Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini to "one-shot" the same software goal. Only Gemini's code worked right off-the-bat.)

I dont have twitter so my thought reading the post 1. Wow i want to do that too ! 2. Wait is there a follow up on how to reproduce this at home 3. Does it mean i will have my "full" dna sequence ? 4. If not, what would be missing (my understanding is that dna while dns is static, genes get activated /deactivacted depending on a lot of factors ? And how to get these missing parts? 5. What are the pratical current and future use of it ? Can i see my family doctor with it ?
