- Hackteria.org’s “Mind thGAP” project is circulating a 1.3 GB archive of lab protocols and notes aimed at creating transgenic humans, including left-handed “purple DNA” constructs and CRISPR workflows (https://mega.hackteria.org/index.php/s/tWbmPQHAxkPWftG).  
- Participants debate the feasibility of producing a viable genetically modified human, with skepticism that any group will succeed soon despite the open sharing of methods.  
- Software-project estimation is discussed: story points are favored over absolute time because humans consistently misjudge durations, often by factors of two or more even after decades of experience.  
- The mythical man-month principle is invoked to caution against adding manpower to late bioengineering or software projects, emphasizing that complexity and communication overhead scale non-linearly.  
- The Hackteria site itself is criticized for its opaque presentation, never explicitly stating that its goal is DIY germline engineering, which some see as deliberate op-sec or marketing ambiguity.
