Wastewater-based epidemiology, although dating back almost a century, has undergone a renaissance since the last pandemic. By providing an aggregated signal of infections, it offers strong operational advantages over individual testing for tracking pathogens at the population level, but also introduces distinct analytical challenges.
As coding agents move from autocomplete to autonomous software engineering, they need an execution substrate designed for non-human developers. This talk will explore the systems challenges behind forkable, isolated environments, including filesystem state, networking and credentials, reproducibility, fast cloning, build/test execution, recovery, and observability. The focus will be on the underlying architecture, trade-offs, and open systems problems.

Longitudinal data has become a major part of the landscape for clinical and epidemiological research. While variance is typically understood as nuisance – the “noise” in “signal-to-noise” – there is increasing evidence that underlying variability in subject-level measures over time may also be important in predicting future health outcomes of interest.
