code is law means talking with APIs instead of bureaucrats
this makes some things harder, but makes many things much easier (or possible)

Couldn't you just delegate that to someone you trust, much like we often trust people to do physical tasks for us unsupervised in a physics-is-law universe?

Code is law = everyone is the ostensible definition of a bureaucrat and that bureaucrats by the the ordinary language definition no longer exist.
Code is law = languages can’t change out from underneath commitments
