Is bioinformatics a meme field?

What I find funny is that memetics is the biggest meme field. No one takes it serious except some admirers of Richard Dawkins, such as Redditors and Daniel Dennet.

Yes.
It's shit tier. Literally code-monkeying for biologists.

fugg off mate bioinformatics is hella fun
it's good but i hope you like dealing with complicated regular expressions
True bioinformatics? Nah. But that's mostly CS transplants doing tool development and delving deep into rigorous statistical analysis of biological data.
95% of what people call "bioinformatics" is really just low-level scripting using extant tools.

No.
It's a high pay field and you'll get hired fast. So long as you have a MS
