That is sort of the software engineer's view. You can describe DNA as if 
it is a program, but that misses most of the details.
Sometimes I wish I was 18 again today, so I could absorb enough facts 
about how cells and organisms work to help advance the field. I am now 
too old to understand a large enough portion to have any significant 
contribution :(

Yet, I still try to keep up with the field as much as I can, if only to 
be able to understand the guys and gals further up the corridor.

I do know that if I had to create life I would have done it more logical 
and maintainable. But, that would probably not have survived for more 
than a few generations.
