Well, if my bio 200 class taught me anything, it's that we don't have bodies that are created with cells all united to single goals or purposes.

Our bodies are microservice hell :D. We have a bunch of cells all performing their complicated jobs and duties working together in a crazy complex distributed system. Even the internals of the cells are a bunch of horribly stitched together glue code that just happens to work because of billions of years of pruning off the glue that doesn't work.

It's an incredibly complex chain of chemical reactions which has been selected of eons based on which chains of chemical reactions produce more of the same chains. It's madness.

Maybe one way to think about biology is: "An ongoing exercise in systems documentation." :P
