> “Spaghetti code“ doesn’t imply “buggy”, so I think is a decent description. Evolution found a good local optimum, but I think that the optimal design would be quite a bit better than what we have now. > A classical example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_laryngeal_nerve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_laryngeal_nerve. Nobody in his right mind would design a nerve running from your brain to your larynx that way. The matter is, the possibilities of DNA are infinite, you can create Godzilla if you knew how. The problem is, nobody knows how, so evolution is all we have - random mutations and survival will lead to /something/. Even genetical engineering now is in essence copy pasting of certain parts that we know work in a specific way, bound by what currently exists. But if you could really grasp biology, that works down to the single molecule and atomic levels, and actually dictate it however you like, I think it would be the final technology we would ever need.
