This isn't proof. Its wishful thinking. We don't yet understand the data structure of DNA fully, we don't know how a chemical storage system that is inherantly inert and relies on nanomachines (that it itself is responsible for providing the code for creating) to be useful even exists, let alone how it was made. How many happy accidents would it take to create cloudflare? This is overwhelmingly more complex than cloudflare and yet it works, and not only works robustly, but with exquisite UX.

Looks like we understand it enough to say it's all a big ball of mud[1], at least based on that SO comment. Or are you saying that the comment is wrong? And yes, the effect is more complex than cloudflare. Then again, it is a ~6Gb (~0.85GB) executable blob[2]; this doesn't include the training sets and it took a bit to get there. Who knows, if cloudflare spent 4.5 billion years and a whole planet of resources on their next version, the result might have exquisite UX too (plus an ability to write tangental HN comments, and many more).
