I think you're right that it doesnt fit perfectly but damn still, it's a self reproducing structure interpreted by a complex hardware to transform inputs into outputs. If we cant use programming metaphors to understand how to patch it, at least maybe to explain exactly what we are fundamentally this is interesting no? We are software running on a hardware (the environment, the interpretation precursors in the womb on startup, the rest of the machinery ALSO created by the software), are we not ? I feel it's cool we can encode some useful messages as RNA for vaccines with headers, commands, checksums even if ofc it's not exactly like electronics.
