> The “real work” is in figuring out how to move forward from something like that, and lots of stress comes from trying to do so without breaking anything.
I'm a lot more impressed with the evolution of the human species than how doctors have been able to maintain those running systems.
You want to design a human from the ground up using proper infrastructure that doesn't have ailments or diseases go ahead. you'll be lucky if you end up with a fruit fly.
The human body is the result of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000+ organisms dying before or after reproducing. That's evolution. It has absolutely nothing to do with the "maintenance" that doctors perform on the human body, especially when doctors are loathed to lose even a single organism.
I'm not even sure why I responded to your comment, since it was so random and unrelated to the rest of the thread.
If you think it's so unrelated, then maybe you didn't understand what he was trying to say?
Doctors are necessary and important and deserve to be paid well, since they deal with life. But that can be done by anyone really. I'm not saying any idiot can become a doctor, it's that most doctors do what any other doctor can do.
I'm not interested in those things either. I would rather work on something that can change how people live their lives--which one could arguably say is close to evolution.

I guess I have to spell it out. "Bad, unmaintainable code" is the result of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000+ random requests being shoehorned in without proper design of the whole thing, but just on the basis of whether it still works or meets some last-minute requirement. I hope this makes my analogy clearer. (I realize the number is an exaggeration, I am referring to the process involved in "evolving" code, rather than "properly designing" it.)
