I think his point that the genome is not the program but the data was very demonstrative.

If you're a computer guy, you should clearly understand what his fundamental disagreement with Kurzweil is about.

Actually I didn't find that very enlightening at all. Code or data - I'd say it's both, depending on your perspective. You need those instructions to build your proteins, after all. It's very lispy ;)

The point is, he seems to suggest that the genome is all you need, when clearly that's not true.
