WEEK 01 · A TANK IN 80 LINES
Do one thing.
Then you are ahead.
Imagine a restaurant kitchen at 7 pm. The chef (the microbe) is cooking. The pantry (the substrate, sugar) is being emptied. The dishes going out (the product) pile up. The air in the kitchen (dissolved oxygen) gets thinner as more cooks join. At first nothing happens (the cooks arrive and put their aprons on: the lag phase), then orders fly (exponential growth), then the pantry runs low and the pace flattens (stati…
If you only do one thing this week: monod.py with the plot

How long have you got?
By Sunday you should be able to say: “I can draw the growth curve, point at each phase, and show the line of code that creates it.”
