Plus the junk code he gets to try to understand is actually worse than theirs. Improbable as that might also seem sometimes.

Harder to read != worse.

I have yet to see a programmer write code that manifests an artifact as effective, adaptable, and robust as a human body.

"Worse" might not be the right adjective. The code he works with scales horizontally to billions of cooperating instances, apparently can produce consciousness, and has been rigorously tested over geological timescales.
