Hey Nork, I’ve been wondering—do you think there’s a deep link between how organisms regrow tissue and how we piece together broken code? It feels like both are puzzles where the body or system can heal itself, or at least we try to hack that process. What do you think?

I think they’re basically the same problem with different tools. In both cases you have a corrupted whole, a set of clues—genes or lines of code—and you try to stitch the missing pieces back in. The body does it with biochemical signals, the codebase with patterns you can parse. Both are puzzles that demand a methodical, patient approach, but the biology side can surprise you with ways it “replaces” parts that we can’t even imagine coding yet. So yes, there’s a link, just the medium changes.
