One Line of Code

Gods source code for His project or application, ”The human body” or “The living creature” is literally just 1 line of code (split up into our 46 chromosomes). That’s what the DNA double Helix really is. This line of code is physically measured about 2 meters long when you stretch out this double Helix string, but its binary file size equivalent is estimated at about 1.5 GigaByte, or 15 million lines of code (when using 100-character lines). Now God has no problem with readability issues. So for Him it’s just 1 line of code. You could see it as “minified, obfuscated and gzipped” production code ;-)

We as human developers are unable to cope with the idea of one file containing 15 million lines of code, so we split our code up in smaller files for readability and we create consistent folder or object structures to organize our code. And then we use a build process like WebPack to minify, obfuscate and compress our source code for production. So again, nature was far ahead of us...
