You know what makes me sad? He fact that when @leashless said "lawyers are literally meatspace engineers who specialize in error handling" you could hear the audience at #devcon4 unwind their bias only for a few seconds to politely clap

No assumptions here; I've been to a lot of talks in the space where engineers/developers only speak of lawyers as unnecessary bureaucrats

In this situation, the bias caused you to interpret the applause as engineers only temporarily unwinding bias, and discount the possibility of there being engineers in the room who consistently acknowledge the role and value of lawyers
