Using what humans have learnt from developing software as an analogy for how the universe operates is fine until you start expecting human-type exploits to also be present in the rules of physics.

At that point you're basically hammering a square peg into a round hole that may not exist, expecting the analogy to hold true.

If there are bugs in the universal algorithm, they'll not be the kind of bugs you find in C, but the kind you find in the ideal programming language. So research into better programming languages is crucial to human transcendence!
