"Would any software developer use a process like this in a production environment?"
Would any engineer use software development techniques in building a bridge? Absolutely not. Hold on, I'll build a mock bridge, run a test truck on top to see if it holds. If it doesn't, I'll just build a new one.
Don't compare disciplines which have enormously different requirements. With all dues respect, the world isn't just software engineering.
- super-serial 11y agoSorry I didn't mean to label you. I still think the analogy holds because DNA is so much like source code. If software keeps eating the world maybe everything else will be software too... well I can only hope.

A better, though still far from precise, analogy would be base-four data which can, in some environments, configurations, and contexts, be interpreted as machine code.
