The other thing is that a lot of codes (I don't know about the biology space, 
but certainly in engineering) are rarely from scratch.  It starts as someone 
else's code that you modify, and then someone else modifies, etc.  Over time, I 
think that process also leads to better design: the nasty ones tend to die out, 
the good ones persist and are reused.


A real case of genetic algorithms in action.
