While you become a programming ninja, you might flourish in the new biotech job and, with eyes and ears open, learn about the business, its pain points etc. Biotech is a strong market with a lot of $$$ - a perfect opportunity. I think a lot of entrepreneurs would envy your position as an insider, but it will only be valuable if you build relationships and gain experience. I think you are in a great position, just keep going strong until you find your opportunity and have developed your entrepreneur and hacker skills.
