Welcome to this special issue of Stem Cell Reports on computational systems biology. As a computationalists at heart, we are going to adhere to the advice that Larry Wall (the creator of the Perl programming language) gave to budding programmers: “ […] develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris.” In the normal world, these traits are typically considered vices. However, in the world of programming, they are considered virtues because they encourage writing code instead of performing repetitive tasks manually (laziness), documenting the code and program so that people do not harass you with incessant and perhaps inane questions (impatience), and fixing and updating the program rather than letting your reputation be tarnished by buggy or outdated code (hubris).
