The inner workings of DNA have remained stable and resilient for millions of years despite the weird quirks of self-replicating molecules. Similarly, modern computer code, though not designed for resilience, contains error-correcting mechanisms resulting in fewer bugs per line of code, and the user also serves as a self-correcting mechanism.
