For the month of June, DevCentral is highlighting our Programmability Month and Codeshare Challenge. A fantastic opportunity to catch up on the power of programmability and learn how the BIG-IP platform can transform your infrastructure with a few lines of code. Since my coding ability is still in the infancy stage, I thought of looking at programmability from a different angle. Can we code a human? First, the word 'Programmability.' According to multiple sources including dictionary.com, it is derived from the adjective ‘Programmable’ or capable of being programmed. As a noun, it can be an electronic device that can be programmed to perform specific tasks. We hear the word Program in many different contexts – a plan of action to accomplish something, a schedule of events, a television/entertainment program, a planned group of activities for a purpose and so forth. In computing, of course, we hear the word programmer as someone who writes code to facilitate certain functionality within a computer program or application. But can code be applied to humans? Are we programmable? DNA is our personal genetic code. It determines our eye and hair color, gender, and all of the traits, characteristics and personality that make you, you. Every cell in our body contains a complete set of our DNA. While 99.9% of the DNA from two people will be identical, it’s the 0.1% of DNA code sequences that vary from person to person. This is what make us unique. This is our genetic marker and what scientists look for to use when doing a DNA test. Genetic disorders are situations where there’s a bug in the DNA code. The gene mutated. For instance, the GLUD1 gene is a Protein Coding gene that encodes mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and is used to control insulin secretion in the pancreas. But if the gene is mutated, then the person could produce too much insulin. The pancreas server works perfectly but it is the gene’s code telling the pancreas what to accomplish that is flawed. My daughter has this genetic disorder – HI/HA GDH. Her GLUD1 code has an insulin bug. Doctors have been able to flip genes. In lab studies, researchers at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia have reprogramed gene expression, showing a proof-of-concept for potential therapy. Reprogramming the gene expression to reverse a biological switch. Imagine being able to reprogram a gene to function properly. Diagnosed with a certain ailment? Let’s change the code with an i{Human}Rule to 0. It's also interesting and partially scary to think that in the future, instead of getting colored contacts to change your eye color, you could insert the color code into your DNA for a particular look. And now for something slightly different… In 1942 Nikola Tesla said, ‘If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.’ There is a frequency or vibration of energy that fills the Universe. It's alive. The Universe is energy and each basic element of the atomic chart consists of energy at different rates of vibration. Each person also has their own frequency. With this in mind, I recently went to have some Quantum Biofeedback ‘new age’ therapy due to some back/neck issues. I already see a chiropractor and acupuncturist and thought this might help me delay back surgery. The idea behind Quantum Biofeedback is that the body is electric and therefore reactivity in the body can be measured electrically since every cell, organ, meridian and emotion has a characteristic electro-magnetic signature. You get hooked up to a few electrodes and it takes a bunch of measurements to determine the electrical factors of the body. It calculates combinations of impedance, amperage, voltage, capacitance, inductance, and resistance. If the frequency of your lungs are off, the system can send the exact frequency of healthy lungs until your lungs respond wi
