ah, Programmer Theory is just the dumbest shit I hear when engineering meetings lose focus, got it

also, words mean things, Pico Paco e/λ! science absolutely does fucking explain genetic recombination, CS knows how merge functions work, and we even know from cross-discipline information theory that these two things look mathematically nothing like each other!

also, and I almost missed it because this stupid asshole tried to squeeze it in right before an etc: where the fuck is DNA “execution” doing anything resembling a unit test?

fuck me, the more I look back at Pico Paco e/λ‘s posts the more bullshit I spot. git merge (and all other methods of merging code under source control) relies on manual intervention in cases where merge algorithms break (which is incredibly common) and might still produce a non-functional result — it’d be awful at automatically merging DNA strings together! like fuck, the diffs that git merge handles are even line-based, which isn’t a concept that DNA strings have

“another copy that works perfectly with some fidelity” what does this even mean, Pico Paco e/λ, if that is your real name?

and here I was gonna ask Pico Paco e/λ who he thinks is reading the comments in junk DNA, but these posts are fractally wrong
