My career is in both fields + PhD in one. Tortured analogies of biology as computers make me cringe, they're misleading at best. Sure the ribosome superficially looks like a FSM, but that gets you basically nowhere.
Comp-sci people: If you're curious about biology, spend some quality time at Kahn or edX, watch some university intro-bio lectures on youtube, read an intro-level undergrad biol textbook, etc.
