And a law degree does not prepare one to sweep the floor of a courtroom. Ignorant people who can program, but often fail to program securely or correctly, and cannot distinguish good architecture from bad, are a huge problem in, e.g., the cryptocurrency/blockchain space.https://twitter.com/holtbt/status/1050164323690012673 …
That said, typical law degree prepares one to practice law far better than typical CS/CE degree prepares one to practice computer science (or computer engineering, if you prefer), and secure protocols are their own subfield that seldom gets taught outside advanced degrees.
I think much of perception that a law degree allows to practice law better than a CS/CE/EE degree allows one to program well is due to limited supply via state licensing, etc. Similar professional accreditation in crypto would (likely) result in better/safer results.
No, it's due to law being much more highly evolved and settled as a subject matter.
Interesting conversation. Law school didn't really prepare me to practice at either. How would you suggest one go about learning to code if they are not an autodidact? Dojo?
Depends what applications one is intending to develop. For applications in the crypto/blockchain space one should spend far more time learning comp sci than merely how to code. We have plenty of the latter writing insecure buggy garbage code that nominally looks like it works.
I think you just answered the question I have been contemplating for a while now. Comp sci degree vs coding boot camp. About to retire from the military and want a new career path.
Please Nick, Do not conflate computer science with computer engineering. Two very different disciplines. Thanks, A computer engineer
I'm not conflating them. Limitations of 240 characters...
fair enough
Part of the reason for this is professional licensure, which (while imperfect) sets a minimum competence threshold necessary to hold oneself as a lawyer. Any jamoke can sell their services as a so called software "engineer".
As a law school grad, I would debate how prepared law grads are to practice law.
The typical law degree prepares nothing but psychopaths to remember the garbage they are indoctrinated with. Only the best memorizors then take an oath to protect the state from people defending themselves by challenging their authority.
Try combining both! Which is what we're building right now... Ricardian contracts, escrow, and smart contract—the Holy trinity... If only Law was (truly) Boolean :)
If law were Boolean we’d be ruled by RoboCops. No thanks.https://medium.com/cryptolawreview/crypto-maximalism-robocops-d3c24af606f9 …
That's completely absurd... Maybe in some dystopia neverland... Law is based on logic. It is the wrongful and duplicitous interpretations of it—within certain law forms/jurisdictions—that gives Law a bad name... Attorneys and judges on the other hand...
